Comment #11 on issue 3473 by address@hidden: Patch: Rewrite  
STEPMAKE_GET_VERSION.

It seems to me that it's one trickery against another, but the old code has  
been tested for ages. What I see (aclocal.m4 lines 43-48) is a special case  
for programs that use a date instead of a version number (is anybody using  
this besides fontforge?) and we are parsing its combined stdout and stderr.  
Since we know that fontforge outputs the relevant info to stdout, it would  
be sufficient to just skip stderr. So that's a one-line change. Now  
consider that the hash issue you are facing is something that comes up only  
if you build fontforge from git (and in-tree, as I came to realize when  
this hash was missing from my out-of-tree build) and I don't get why we  
would introduce a major rewrite here.
