I'm not sure if the post should be sent to the autoconf mailing list instead. I see the following warnings from gl_EARLY when running autoconf (version 2.69):
configure.ac:42: warning: AC_RUN_IFELSE was called before AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS ../../lib/autoconf/specific.m4:314: AC_GNU_SOURCE is expanded from... m4/gnulib-comp.m4:34: gl_EARLY is expanded from... configure.ac:42: the top level The version of gnulib is 0.1.147-b1b4ba. Looking at the definition of gl_EARLY, it's expanding macro gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The documenation of this macro says that its purpose is to avoid those warnings. The rest of the message shows the beginning of configure.ac. Thanks in advance!
