Autoconf convention is to ignore unknown rules.

I actually did this in the GNOME build system originally (pattern match for bits in configure), but after some discussion on the Yocto list we decided there the warning was harmless. https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/poky/2011-March/004944.html -- devel mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
