[arch-general] autogen.sh now fails building radeonhd - m4_pattern_allow -- how?

[David C. Rankin]

Listmates,

	I have been working with the radeonhd folks for several months testing the radeonhd driver. I have probably built the driver 50 times over that period. In the past few days, something changed so I can no longer run the autogen.sh script. The error is:

09:46 alchemy:~/archlinux/apps/radeonhd> sh autogen-autoconf.sh --prefix=/usr

      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

	I have searched and I can't figure out what the error is. The radeonhd source is from:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd radeonhd/

	The simple autogen.sh script is:

#! /bin/sh

srcdir=`dirname "$0"`
test -z "$srcdir" && srcdir=.

ORIGDIR=`pwd`
cd "$srcdir";

rm -rf autom4te.cache
autoreconf -v --install || exit 1
cd "$ORIGDIR" || exit $?

"$srcdir"/configure --enable-maintainer-mode "$@"

	Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?? I have the needed macro packages installed:

m4 1.4.13-1
xorg-util-macros 1.2.2-1
