aclocal: just warn if the primary local m4 dir doesn't exist (don't error)
Related to automake bug#13514.
Every package which does not need to have the local m4 macro
directory pre-existing in the version control system (because
e.g., it does not have nor need any private m4 macros) would
fail during the "autoreconf -vfi" phase if AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4])
is specified in configure.ac (it could be to instruct tools like
'autopoint' and 'libtoolize' to use 'm4' as the local directory
where to install definitions of their m4 macros, and to instruct
aclocal to look into it). The failure would go like this:
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force
aclocal: error: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
The problem is that when 'aclocal' is run for the first time during
'autoreconf', the directory 'm4' does not exist yet. It will be
created by e.g., 'libtoolize' or 'autopoint' later on. During the
second 'aclocal' run, the 'm4' directory exists and aclocal does not
complain.
To work around this issue, we degrade the error to a simple warning.
The warning is still quite useful when aclocal is run by hand - so
we are not removing completely.

NEWS: IRIX is still supported; only SGI C compiler depcomp no longer is
This change is for the maint branch.
The only IRIX-specific support that is going to actually be removed in
the next major Automake versions is the depcomp support for the SGI
compiler. That means that automatic dependency tracking will no
longer work with that compiler, but "normal" compilation should still
work, at least until the compiler is supported by Autoconf.
So there is no point in alarming our users by stating in the NEWS file
that "support for IRIX and the SGI compilers is going to be removed";
after all, while we don't test on nor particularly care about IRIX
anymore, that doesn't mean we are deliberately breaking it, and the
likelihood of an intended breakage there is very low.

compat: reinstate AM_CONFIG_HEADER and AM_PROG_CC_STDC
Make them give runtime warnings in the obsolete category, but apart
from that, make them behave as they did in Automake 1.12.x and earlier.
While removing those macros seemed quite harmless, because it didn't put
a real burden on the developers (requiring them just to do a quick edit
to configure.ac), it turned out to place an unsustainable burden (or at
least, a burden perceived as such) on distro packagers who use the latest
Automake to bootstrap existing packages. Many of those packages, while
having likely updated to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in their development version,
still used AM_CONFIG_HEADER in their existing released versions, and the
removal of this macro would have thus forced the Fedora packagers to
patch all of them. References:

In addition, the Fedora packagers have already decided to patch their
Automake 1.13.1 to reinstate the AM_CONFIG_HEADER and AM_PROG_CC_STDC
macros (plus other macros that I don't believe it's worth worrying about):

docs: re-introduce mention of two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation
Albeit obsolescent and raising warnings in the 'obsolete' category,
that usage is still supported, and will need to be until Autoconf
improves its handling of configure-time-generated package version
numbers. So it's better to explicitly document it again, stating
that it is obsoleted but still working (and why), rather then leaving
it as Yet Another Undocumented Feature (that will mysteriously and
suddenly break some random day in the future).
It's worth giving some background about how we ended up in the
situation that this patch fixes.
We had originally removed support for the long-deprecated two-args
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation (see commit v1.12-67-ge186355). Before
that removal could land in a released Automake version, Bob Friesenhahn
made a quite compelling point that the two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
invocation could still be useful for modern, maintained packages like
GraphicsMagick, at least until Autoconf is fixed to offer better support
for "dynamic" package versions (see commit v1.12.2-245-g2abe183 for more
in-depth rationales and references). However, in that commit we didn't
revert the removal of the *documentation* for this two-arguments
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation (and no rationale for not doing so was given
in the commit message). Time to remedy that.

tests: don't always look for a C++ compiler named 'RCC'
On MacOS X (10.8), since the file system is case-insensitive, RCC
can point to the "Resource Compiler" of the Qt4 Toolkit:
<http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.2/rcc.html>
That mismatch causes our configure script to erroneously think that
no working C++ compiler is present, and that is thus necessary to
skip all the test cases requiring such a compiler.
So only look for a compiler named 'RCC' if the file system is
case-sensible.

caused the test 't/ltcond2.sh' to spuriously fail due to what
appeared like a clang bug. Here is a part of the diagnostic (trimmed
down for better clarity):
clang: .../cfarm/llvm/lib/MC/MCAsmStreamer.cpp:338: \
virtual void {anonymous}::MCAsmStreamer::EmitLabel(llvm::MCSymbol*): \
Assertion `Symbol->isUndefined() && "Cannot define a symbol twice!"' \
failed.

So tweak the affected test case to avoid triggering this bug. This is
the easiest way for us to keep the testsuite result clean and meaningful
on our main Clang test bed.
* t/ltcond2.sh: Prefer using "extern const char *" variables rather
than functions returning a statically allocated "const char *" variable.
