Rico pointed out that the testsuite failed on his system (dash
represented /bin/sh). Turns out that 'shift' in dash exits shell
with exit status 2 when there are no items in the array.
The other issue was that 'test-option-parser.sh' did not
re-executed the test in proper shell, but in /bin/sh.
* gl/tests/test-option-parser-helper (test_parse_eat_test): Don't
shift for empty $@.
* gl/tests/test-option-parser.sh: Use $__GL_ALL_SHELLS_SHELL as
shell which runs the helper.
Some projects use this construct in configure.ac:
m4_define([version], m4_include([version]))
pkg_version=version
When the m4_include builtin is undefined (as was done in
libtoolize and extract-trace scripts), the call to this 'version'
macro enters an infinite recursion (until ENOMEM). So rather
re-define all potentially dangerous macros by empty strings,
suggested by Eric Blake.
While we are on it, merge the macro-"blacklist" with similar list
implemented in gettext, except for 'm4_esyscmd'. It's kept
defined because we already trace AC_INIT macro for package
version, while it is often specified by
m4_esyscmd(git-version-gen). Similarly to m4_include, m4_esyscmd
might be opt-in-blacklisted in future.

Regression from 2.4.2 was causing noticable slow-down in builds
