This fixes an error when autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.6 are used.
$ ./gnulib-tool --test quotearg

Yes, this is so. There is a comment that explains it: On these

If I understand things correctly, this code is hijacking the underlying
system's mbstate_t type and using it for its own purposes? The idea
being that other
gl_FUNC_MBRTOWC has the same semantics as AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC. So it should be
named the same. I'm applying this rename:
2008-12-17 Bruno Haible
* m4/mbrtowc.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): Renamed from gl_FUNC_MBRTOWC.
* m4/mbfile.m4 (gl_MBFILE): Use AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC instead of
gl_F
The next ISO C 99 multibyte/widechar function is btowc.
2008-12-17 Bruno Haible
New module 'btowc'.
* lib/wchar.in.h (btowc): New declaration.
* lib/btowc.c: New file.
* m4/btowc.m4: New file.
* modules/btowc: New file.
* m4/wchar.m4 (gl_WCHAR_H_
I'm starting to add support for ISO C 99 multibyte / wide character functions,
for systems such as HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 2.6.
The first module is 'mbsinit'.
