I also see LOTS of complaints about compat issues, which is why I just
pulled the 2 files from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config when I
generated that patch. Looks like they updated them again today:
$ ftp ftp.gnu.org
Connected to gnuftp.gnu.org.

230-If you have any problems with the GNU software or its downloading,
please
refer your questions to <gnu(at)gnu(dot)org>.
There are several mirrors of this archive, a complete list can be
found on
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html. Please use one of the mirrors if
possible.
Archives of the GNU mailing lists can be found in
ftp://ftp-mailing-list-archives.gnu.org/.
Please note that the directory structure on ftp.gnu.org was
redisorganzied
fairly recently, such that there is a directory for each program.
One side
effect of this is that if you cd into the gnu directory, and do
> ls emacs*
you will get a list of all the files in the emacs directory, but it
will not
be obvious from the ls output that you have to `cd emacs' before you
can
download those files.
Note further the non-GNU programs that were formerly in gnu/ have
moved to
gnu/non-gnu/. Most of them were just pointers in the format
program.README.
If you are looking for such a file, be sure to check gnu/non-gnu/.
