[Rust-users] So far... no go on building 0.1-8

[James S. <ja...@dn...>]

Ok,

   First of all hello.... I'm in the process of trying to join this
list.. Hopefully it will be met with success.  Until then.  

   I go past the config.guess and config.sub problem.  They are missing
so I copied the ones from automake to the dir. Now it's happy.  But
further on down the line I ran into a problem with backsupport.hh.  The
full error message is attached but an initial look from these lines.

I'm not sure what is missing I've looked for a missing ' " or maybe a )
but not finding it.  I've tried it on RH 7.3 RH8.0 and MDK 9.1 and get
the exact same output on each.  Thanks in advance for your time and
help.
