41ec08f9ed When running
AC_INIT
AC_PROG_CC
AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE
AC_PROG_CC is expanded twice, because AC_PROG_CC provides
`AC_PROG_CC', and not `AC_LANG_COMPILER(C)' as expected by
AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.
* aclang.m4 (AC_LANG_COMPILER(C)): Instead of calling AC_PROG_CC,
require it.
(AC_LANG_COMPILER(C++), AC_LANG_COMPILER(Fortran 77)): Likewise.

674d4eef25 m4_syscmd was reestablished as syscd' intead of syscmd' because

43703ea9aa * m4sugar.m4 (m4_location): When using its value, don't use
`m4_defn', since m4_location is not a variable, it's a macro which
expands to __file__:__line__.
* tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn): New test.

3c3853ced4 * acgeneral.m4 (AU_ALIAS): Don't forget to pass the arguments to
the new macro...
Reported by Ezra Peisach.
* tests/semantics.m4 (AC_HAVE_FUNCS): New test.
* tests/tools.at (autoupdate): As a benign side effect, updating a
macro that takes no argument produces `UPDATED([])', no longer
`UPDATED()'.  Adjust the test.

7e4f776a09 * autoconf.m4: Instead of reactivating the macros before reading
Autoconf's file, do it afterwards, so that Autoconf promotes the
right use, but users still can use the old names.
Of course this revealed numerous non updated uses of old macros in
Autoconf's files.  Adjust them.
But for the time being, keep `define' alive for Autoconf.

(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Don't.
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT, _AC_INIT_PREPARE_FDS): Rename as...

since they are called from `_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS', not
`_AC_INIT_PREPARE'.
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS): Dump `$@' in config.log, not
`$ac_configure_args' which is not computed yet.

3f580f38ab * m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): New macro, eved from
_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT, and fixed: set `FOO' before trying
