     After updating gettext to 0.24.1 our daily build of git head is now

     autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

     Indeed running 'aclocal' generates the same error:
     ----------------------------------------

     gettext does include the file :
         /usr/share/gettext/m4/iconv.m4


     Any help appreciated.

     I scanned the gettex mail lists but didn't spot anything that seemed
     relevant.


     Thanks for any guidance.



The fix is to update configure.ac with this which is now required in gettext
0.24 and later:

diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index 8c711964de..dff3d3b19e 100644
