multilib: deprecate, will be moved to contrib As of 2012-01-17, according to Google codesarch, almost no active package is using the 'multilib' feature offered by automake. The only major exception seems to be GCC... But on a closer look, it become clear that GCC basically carries its own version of multilib support. In fact, Automake syncs its 'config-ml.in' and 'symlink-tree' scripts from GCC; and the GCC repository contains a version of the 'multi.m4' file that is *more* updated than the one in the automake repository (the former having being modified the last time in 2008, the latter only in 2006). The 'multilib' feature was anyway hardly documented at all, only being briefly cited in the manual as an "obscure feature", "still experimental", that was only for users "familiar with multilibs" and which "can debug problems they might encounter". We expect such users to be motivated and knowledgeable enough to make the minor adjustments required to start using the contrib version of multilib, if they really need to. * NEWS (Future backward incompatibility): Update. * doc/automake.texi: Deprecate multilib support. State that it will be removed from automake core in the next major release. * m4/multi.m4 (AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB): Deprecate. If called, now gives a proper warning in the 'obsolete' category (while still retaining its former behaviour for the rest). * tests/multilib.test: Update. * contrib/multilib/multi.m4: New, verbatim copy of the earlier version of multi.m4, without the new deprecation warning. * Makefile.am (fetch): Don't sync the 'config-ml.in' file nor the 'symlink-tree' script from GCC SVN repository anymore. (FETCHFILES): Adjust. (WGET_GCC): Remove, it's not needed anymore.
