How did you do that? When I run autoconf 2.68 or aclocal 1.11.1 on OpenLDAP, with or without your patch, I just get a bunch of error messages. 'aclocal -I build' gives fewer messages, but still some:

$ aclocal -I build build/openldap.m4:683: error: AC_LANG_SOURCE: unknown language: _AC_LANG autoconf/lang.m4:226: AC_LANG_SOURCE is expanded from... build/openldap.m4:683: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1

aclocal without '-I build' gives a much longer list of errors.

Autoconf with your patch givses 181 lines of errors (below), with original master it gives 215 lines.
