The build infrastructure of libiconv, based on gnulib, has now been updated.
With libiconv-1.15 you won't need this patch any more.

This patch is not needed with automake 1.15 and autoconf 2.69. You may
ignore some possible warnings.

At some point some adaptation will be needed for newer (not yet released)
autoconf versions. But I don't think that
  AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])
will be it, because AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR can only be called once, whereas
here we need both the 'm4' and the 'srcm4' directories.

Best regards,
