I did use --verbose and --debug, that's how I found out what's
happening.
A quick look at the autoreconf script itself confirmed it. The aclocal
is running first, before autopoint has a chance to install the proper
.m4 files to support the AM_GNU_GETTEXT* macros, so when aclocal runs it
can't find them.
Unless someone can give a good reason why aclocal should be run first, I
think the proper answer is to change autoreconf and switch the order.
I can try using --force and maybe that will allow autoreconf to continue
after it hits that error, _but_ I still think that autoreconf is doing
these things backwards: it should run autopoint first, then aclocal.
