In all regular cases it will be just a single file:

        ac_file_inputs="$ac_file.in"

This issue of multiple input files can happen only occasionally when you use:

#     You can override an input file name by appending to FILE a
#     colon-separated list of input files.  Examples:
#
#          AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile:boiler/top.mk:boiler/bot.mk]
#                          [lib/Makefile:boiler/lib.mk])
