gnulib-tool.texi says:
A final word of warning: Gnulib currently assumes it will be
responsible for @emph{all} functions that end up in the Autoconf
@code{@@LIBOBJS@@} variables (and/or @code{@@LTLIBOBJS@@} if using
Libtool), e.g., those specified in @code{AC_REPLACE_FUNCS} in your
@file{configure.ac}. Therefore, if you have any functions which are
not covered by Gnulib which need that treatment, you have to
essentially reimplement AC_REPLACE_FUNCS using different names; for an
example, see the Findutils sources. Perhaps this will be improved in
the future.
However, Gnulib now seems to use its own variables gl_LIBOBJS and
gl_LTLIBOBJS. As far as I can tell, normal Autoconf macros like
AC_REPLACE_FUNCS now work fine. Should this paragraph be removed from
the documentation, and perhaps be replaced with a note that it used to
be broken but now people can get rid of their AC_REPLACE_FUNCS
reimplementations?
Thanks,
