I committed your patch, changing the last sentence to:

If you want @command{autoreconf} to pass flags that are not listed here
to @command{aclocal}, set @code{ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS} in your Makefile.am.

IOW, I removed the preposition ``on'' there.  (I'm not a native speaker;
I hope this wasn't a mistake.)

Thank you for your contribution, and thanks for taking care to re-post it.

Because it is less then 10 lines, I marked it as a ``tiny change'', which
is not legally significant.

I don't understand why this was necessary.

Have a nice day,
