Guys, thanks to the standard

./configure --prefix=......
make
make install

sequence if one is persistent enough, he/she can build everything from
scratch not having root permissions.

I have even automated the process in my AppsFromScratch; 'ginac' is built
among many other targets. Gnu autotools are also built, as well as 'gcc'.

So, in this subthread you are not discussing a critical issue
(presence/absence of GNU autottols), but rather an issue of convenience.

Regards,
  Sergei.
