12.3 How Can I Bootstrap?
=========================
If Autoconf requires GNU `m4' and GNU `m4' has an
Autoconf `configure' script, how do I bootstrap? It seems
like a chicken and egg problem!
This is a misunderstanding. Although GNU `m4' does come with a
`configure' script produced by Autoconf, Autoconf is not required in
order to run the script and install GNU `m4'. Autoconf is only
required if you want to change the `m4' `configure' script, which few
people have to do (mainly its maintainer).
