I hate to spoil the party, but I'd like to add a couple more

Hello,
some time ago I noticed that autom4te calls m4 with stdin redirected
to /dev/null. The redirection was a hack to work around a problem
with CVS m4.
The bug was discussed here
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/m4-discuss/2006-04/threads.html
and resolved by Eric here

Hello Greg and Ralf,
I think I have found the bug now.
There were two suspects: aclocal and autoconf.
First, I tried to find out whether aclocal does its work correctly by
that unfortunate grep (should have been `grep acinclude aclocal.m4').
But then Greg posted the diff, and I had an idea: per
I have noticed the following problem (bug) in automake-1.10:
(1) A package (ImageMagick-6.3.0) uses configure to generate manpages with
substitutions (e.g., .1 from .1.in) but also distributes the
generated manpages from an older version (i.e., with wrong substitutions).
(2) The automake

The reasoning was wrong, the patch should still be right.
First, autoconf/lib/autom4te.in (sic) was fixed only after 2.60,
but second it was broken only for automake, not for aclocal.
So. There you have it. Now,

Since we fixed autoconf/lib/autom4te.cfg in Autoconf 2.60, now when we
call $ACLOCAL, the traces that were created by the $AUTOCONF before are
sufficient; and since they appear with the same time stamp as all known
input files to aclocal.m4, they are used by autom4te. So we have to
tell the autom4
