Hi Eric,

Thank you for tackling this bug report so rapidly. I'm glad that you were able
to reduce the test case to a minimal one.

Yes, it would be good if you could apply the workaround, probably with a
comment such as:
  
AC_DEFUN([gl_MULTIARCH],
[
  dnl This AC_REQUIRE is not necessary in theory. It works around a bug in
  dnl autoconf <= 2.63: AC_REQUIRE invocations inside AC_REQUIREd macros are
  dnl being handled better than AC_REQUIRE invocations inside normally invoked
  dnl macros.
  AC_REQUIRE([gl_MULTIARCH_BODY])
])
