  This bug is starting to drive me crazy now everytime I have to use aclocal
on a debian build box.

  The patch by Akim Demaille(the best part of a year ago) at the head of this
thread fixes the problem, and surely should be applied.

Thanks for your time

Jay

Hi i also have a patch for the bug about aclocal spurious
warnings :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=212677

mine only fix the warning without the improvments.
Please apply the one of the previous submitter or mine. I sent patch to most of
 the other obsolete ones. This is not only a cosmetic issue. It helps reduce the noise
i when debugging configure scripts and speedup builds.
