# The grep below is needed because Perl >= 5.16 dumps a "called too
# early to check prototype" warning when running aclocal 1.11.1. This
# causes trouble below, because the warning is the first line output

#
# $ sh ./update-gnulib.sh ~/src/gnulib/src/
# Error: Wrong aclocal version: called too early to check prototype at /opt/automake-1.11.1/bin/aclocal line 617.. Aborting.
#
# Some distros carry an automake patch for that:
# https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=aclocal-function-prototypes.debdiff;att=1;bug=752784
#
# But since we prefer pristine FSF versions of autotools, work around
# the issue here. This can be removed later when we bump the required
# automake version.
