Re: [bug-inetutils] bootstrap is broken

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

Mats reported the following problem when bootstraping inetutils with
the latest gnulib/ (2011-12-17):

     configure.ac:152: error: possibly undefined macro: gl_FUNC_READLINE

     configure.ac:176: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE

This is due that we set ACLOCAL_FLAGS in bootstrap.conf, the change
that introduced this is:

    * build-aux/bootstrap (AUTOPOINT, AUTORECONF): Factor out definitions.
    Run autopoint and libtoolize *before* gnulib-tool.
    After it, run an abbreviated autoreconf, rather than a loop around
    all tools.
    (slirp, bt_mark_as_generated): Remove functions.

Since ACLOCAL_FLAGS isn't passed to autoreconf, I suggest the
following fix.

        * build-aux/bootstrap (AUTOPOINT): Pass ACLOCAL_FLAGS when
        invoking autoreconf.
