Debian requires small tweak to compile glibc

[carson@…]

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody), the current stable version, installs both autoconf 2.13 and 2.53; using Debian's packaging system, both must be installed to have one or the other (the included docs say this is for compatibility reasons). However, the actual /usr/bin/autoconf is the binary for 2.13, which is insufficient to compile glibc; make quits shortly after it starts with a message of "Undefined macros." 2.53 seems to work fine, however. For the record, this is a i386 box, dunno if that makes a difference.

Perhaps a note could be added to the section on glibc to this effect?
