Hello,
Chris proposed to document that autoreconf doesn't pass -I to
aclocal. I remember that I was confused by this some time ago, too.
I think his addition can help many users, and there were no objections,
so I committed it, as attached.
(I changed s/on to/to/ on the last line, it seems more correct to me.)
Have a nice day,
Stepan

* doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Mention that -I for
aclocal cannot be given on the command line.
