I noticed the following, as part of investigating why autoconf on m4's tree was
so slow on cygwin:
$ cd m4
$ autoconf --trace m4_syscmd --trace m4_esyscmd | wc
72 570 4742
It turns out that my additions last September are the culprit [1, 2]. OK to
apply this patch, which cuts down the number of syscmd forks from 72 to 2?
Here's how the autoconf run looks when catching the error:
$ mv lib/error.c{,.bak}
$ autoconf -f
missing lib/error.c
configure.ac:68: error: problem checking LIBSOURCES
m4/gnulib-comp.m4:42: M4_INIT is expanded from...
configure.ac:68: the top level
autom4te: /usr/local/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1

Subject: [PATCH] Reduce number of forks required during autoconf.
* gnulib-tool (func_emit_initmacro_start): Prepare
AC_LIBSOURCES_LIST and AC_LIBSOURCES_DIR.
(func_emit_initmacro_end): Use them here in one syscmd...
(func_emit_initmacro_done) <gl_LIBSOURCES>: ...rather than in one
syscmd per file.
<m4_foreach_w>: Move...
* m4/gnulib-common.m4 (m4_foreach_w): ...here.
