The patch looks good, is unobtrusive, and is small enough to be applied
without requiring you to sign any copyright paper (yay!).  Before applying
it, though, I'd like to know if you have run the whole automake testsuite
with this patch applied (to the master branch) and with CC and CXX pointing
to the XL C/C++ compilers.  Even if doing that is not strictly required for
such a patch (as a bug would only affect users of the XL compiler), it
would be preferable (and much appreciated) if you did so.

Thanks,
  Stefano
