Description
bleeding edge from DARCS doesn't build on SL5 and presumably RHEL5 bombs out with the following message:
configure.ac:14: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.3933 (%build)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.3933 (%build)
The root cause is presumably that SL5 only provides autoconf-2.59 while the macro complained about is defined in version 2.61 AIUI.
If I understand Darcs annotate correctly this was introduced by the following patch:

- Use large file macros, not ...64 functions

- Resolution set to wontfix
An actual distribution would contain a built configure (via a darcs
hook), but I haven't tested the result on EPEL5. I assume the result
will work, but let me know if not. (I provided an autoconf268 (?)
package for EPEL6, but that won't build on EPEL5 as far as I remember.)

The following bug is what makes me think it is related to the autoconf version:
