When running aclocal, autoreconf uses the -I flags learned from
Makefile.am's ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, in preference to the command line
arguments; the command line argument -I is only passed to autoconf and
autoheader.  Perhaps this is a bug, but no one has been bothered by it
enough to submit a patch.  At any rate, I'm not bothered by it, since it
is documented as the last paragraph in this section:
