I don't know what you mean by "leakage". The autotools that are used for application development are those from the development host. We haven't had any problems due to that (yet), but it is a weak point in the workflow, since they aren't archived/controlled the way the toolchain is. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
