  GCC/binutils require specialised versions, and I keep them in a separate
prefix, thanks to Chuck's gcc-tools-* packages, and add them to the front of
$PATH when needed.

  For all other stuff, the automake/autoconf wrapper scripts that are part of
the standard distro versions suffice to select a suitably-near match, at least
in my experience.

    cheers,
