Hello Jim.
Just a minor nit, since your fix will have to be ported to automake's
`tests/defs' too ...

Wouldn't it be simpler, and potentially more correct, to use simply:
warn_ () { eval 'echo "$@" 1>&'"$stderr_fileno_"; }
With your new implementation, I see this on Debian with bash and dash:
$ stderr_fileno_=2; warn_ () { eval 'echo "'"$@"'" 1>&'"$stderr_fileno_"; }
$ $ warn_ '$HOME'
/home/stefano
which is not intended behaviour IMHO.
