Yes !! That would be helpful for others.

I am just looking through the previous mail from Corrinna and other
maintainers. I will update my blog with what is required to send a patch to
newlib and autoconf version related issues.

Last time, I was also facing the same issues with autoconf version and then
I had built that manually.
