Me too :-)

What about adding m4/obsolete.m4 with:

        AU_DEFUN([AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG], [AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG])dnl
        AU_DEFUN([AC_LIBTOOL_LINKER_OPTION], [AC_LIBTOOL_LINKER_OPTION])dnl
        ...
        AU_DEFUN([AC_PROG_EGREP], [AC_PROG_EGREP])dnl

At least it is only affecting the bootstrap now.  And we have a warning in the
script.

Cheers,
        Gary
