Very little changed between 5.9.0rc4 and 5.9.0. I just went through the
diffs and verified that there weren't any significant build system
changes. Can you still build 5.9.0rc4?

If automake and autoconf are indeed being rerun, that's a mistake. There
is no need. Rerunning should not cause any problems in principle, but we
all know about the differences between principle and practice.
Is compiling on Mac OS X as easy as
./configure && make && make install
? If it turns out that there are there are any avoidable difficulties in
the Mac OS X build I would like to know about them so that they can be
fixed.
