That I can't bootstrap CVS m4 :-(
I'm having a number of problems due to changes in the autotools since I
was last hacking on m4, On closer examination, where I had thought
that one of them was aclocal.m4 not picking up the in-tree libtool m4
macro files, it seems that autoreconf does indeed do a silent rerun of
aclocal after libtoolizing (see lines highlighed ">>>>>" below).
I'll retract my bug report :-) However, I'd like to see autoreconf report
the currently silent aclocal run in the next autoconf release.
Cheers,
Gary.
