Automake 1.6 is rather old; you may want to consider upgrading your
autotools.  And you didn't mention what version of autoconf this is really
targetting.

> acinclude.m4:36: warning: underquoted definition of AC_FIND_FILE

AC_FIND_FILE is not an autoconf macro, so someone is creating macros in
the Autoconf namespace.  However, the warning is valid, and the macro
should be fixed to be properly quoted.

> acinclude.m4:3378: warning: underquoted definition of AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

An underquoted AC_PROG_LIBTOOL indicates that you seem to be using an
older version of libtool.  Again, my advice about considering upgrading
may be relevant.

This is the real error - somewhere between K_PATH_X and
KDE_PRINT_QT_PROGRAM, a macro is calling AC_LANG_RESTORE without first
having called AC_LANG_SAVE.  This may be due to all the unquoted macros
that you encountered, but we'd have to see more of acinclude.m4 around
line 538.

It is considered bad netiquette to send email to publicly archived mailing
lists when such disclaimers are added on your behalf, since they are
unenforceable.  Please consider using a different mail account when
