Thanks for reporting that.  I installed the following to pacify
Autoconf 'make check' for now.  I suppose we can install a better
check later.

        * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Remove test
        for tracing multiline macros, since m4 1.4.7a uses a different
        way to number lines.  Problem reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
