Not really, it was just direct irl/irc/mail communication with
automake/autoconf fedora maintainers&comaintainers. First request was
only about 1.10b in rawhide (after f-12 split) - as I needed at least
1.10b to build coreutils-7.4 there (otherwise only with an ugly hack).
And? This should not be a problem to you.
Simply install the original GNU versions of these autotools in parallel
(using a different --prefix) to the vendor supplied versions and use
them for your packages (here core-utils).
