This warning is probably without consequence.

while this kind is not.

Either you are missing a particular library or it is caused by the gnubg
.m4 files being much older than current libraries. You could try and
find the relevant .m4 file in your own or in an older distribution and
place them in the m4 subdir. Otherwise you have to figure out what the
updated version of the auto-tools files would be.

good luck, Christian.
