I applied without the AC_MSG_NOTICE to both HEAD and branch-1-5.

Why? The user set it, the user knows she set it.

That is not a problem, as the variables are not tagged they are the same
for all tags. :(

The current situation is that the last tag wins for every variable

a known brokenness, using whatever the C compiler had was somewhat better :)
