Title:
   Sync autotools-dev 20120210.1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Status in “autotools-dev” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Please sync autotools-dev 20120210.1 (main) from Debian unstable (main) in
  order for config.sub/.guess in precise to inherit aarch64 definitions for ARM's forthcoming v8 architecture[1].

  This will allow people using precise to start building ubuntu packages
  for this architecture.

  Changelog entries since current precise version 20110511.1:

  autotools-dev (20120210.1) unstable; urgency=high

    * Sync to upstream git 2012-02-13
      [commit d6f39afaf50f884f62a6f6c04d5057884a098a4f]
      + ARM 64bit ABI support (aarch64)
    * Set urgency to high by request of Jonathan Austin (ARM), to start
      the GNU config bootstrap of the new arch in Debian and Ubuntu ASAP
    * Update README.Debian:
      + Rework time-stamp skew build problems section.  Note that dpkg enforces
        limited sanity on package unpack, but that does not cover all
        possibilities of inducing time-stamp skew breakage (closes: #589083)
      + Some minor rewording and fixes.  This document really could use a
        rewrite...
      + Mention to dh-autoreconf and the autotools-dev dh helpers in the main
        text.  Mention that CDBS takes care of certain details automatically,
        and to not use dh-autoreconf and dh-autotools-dev* at the same time.
        Mention the brilliant dpkg-source "extend-diff-ignore" option to keep
        the diffs clean (closes: #615894)
    * Remove extremely outdated examples.  Patches with new ones are welcome!
    * debian/rules:
      + remove ancient cruft and update copyright
      + add build-arch and build-indep targets
    * debian/control: bump standards-version to 3.9.2 (no changes)
    * debian/copyright: move from autotools-dev.copyright, and update for 2012
