Gerrit,
The line you mention in the aclocal.m4 script is indeed automatically generated 
by the 
autoconf tool from the file gettext.m4 that is managed (I presume) as part of 
autoconf. 
With this mail I will draw it to the attention of the maintainer of autoconf. I 
have 
fixed my local version so that the next build of indent will be OK.

To the maintainer of autoconf:
This problem arises in the autoconf version 2.52:

# autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.52
# gettext --version
gettext (GNU gettext) 0.10.39
