* doc/autoconf.texi (Signal handling): Rename ...
(Signal Handling): ... to this, for consistency with other node
names. Fix some typos and grammaros. Add more URL references
in comments.
Some Korn shells, when a child process dies due to signal number
n, can leave in $? an exit status of 256+n, instead of the more
common 128+n. See also Austin Group issue 0000051:
<http://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=51>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Signal handling): Document the described Korn
Shell behaviour, and some of its possible shortcomings.
Suggestion by Eric Blake.
See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-diffutils/2011-08/msg00022.html
for precedence in diffutils. The autoconf manual, as of this commit,
was still barely below 400 pages.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Automatic Rule Rewriting): Solaris make
VPATH rewriting applies to any whitespace-separated word in a
rule, so it might apply also to shell variables, functions
and keywords (and automake has already tripped on this once);
document this, with an example. Since we are at it, do some
minor reformatting of existing text.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Don't reject gcc when it is used
with -Werror -Wall during configuring. It's unwise to use GCC
that way, but apparently enough people do it nowadays that it's an
issue. These days nobody uses the old compilers that the old
tests reject, so we can't test this fix against them, but it's
more important to work with modern GCC (even when misused) than to
work with no-longer-used compilers. Problem reported by Shevek in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2008-11/msg00007.html>
and raised again by Dan Kegel in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2011-08/msg00020.html>.

The existing example triggers an autoconf warning, due to the
change in AC_COMPILE_IFELSE probing for an AC_LANG_SOURCE use.
