In (info "(autoconf) autoreconf Invocation")
there is:
If you want `autoreconf' to pass flags that are not listed here on
to `aclocal', set `ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' in your `Makefile.am'. Due to a
limitation in the Autoconf implementation these flags currently must be
set on a single line in `Makefile.am', without any backslash-newlines.
so if you use autoreconf (which is Recommended) in the bootstrap flow,
you can try adding
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = --output build/m4/aclocal.m4
to the top-level Makefile.am. I suppose:
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(build/m4)
will then be sufficient for the tools to DTRT. I haven't tried this
approach yet, having just learned about it, prompted by your query (so
thanks for asking!), however. Does it work?
