[15.2.0 autoupdate on configure.ac
A user is patching binutils 15.2.0 and encountered an m4 error when running autoupdate on configure.ac, citing a version mismatch between their local autoconf (2.73) and the script’s requirement (2.72). The error message indicates an ‘end of file in string’ from m4, possibly related to macro expansion or quoting issues within the GMP version check logic in configure.ac.
