Yep - run into that a few timesâ.

How do I do that?

Gandalf:~ pteeson$ cd /Volumes/Data/Development/MyProjects/crosstool-ng 
Gandalf:crosstool-ng pteeson$ cat bootstrap
#!/bin/sh
set -e

printf "Running autoconf...\n"
autoconf -Wall --force

printf "Done. You may now run:\n    ./configure\n"
Gandalf:crosstool-ng pteeson$

Good question! Looks like they are both the same version
