Thanks.  I assume Bruno will look into gettext.m4.  For the others, I
installed the following patch into coreutils, and the same into gnulib
(except without the jm-macros.m4 patches, which are private to
coreutils).

2006-06-28  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * m4/jm-macros.m4 (jl_MACROS): Require 2.60, not 2.59d.
        * m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Don't require AC_C_CONST, since
        it's obsolete.

2006-06-28  Derek Price  <address@hidden>

        * m4/fnmatch.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): Don't require AC_C_CONST, since
        it's obsolete.
        * m4/strftime.m4 (gl_FUNC_GNU_STRFTIME): Likewise.
