--- Comment #4 from Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi at oracle dot com> ---
We digged a bit more.

autoreconf -i calls autopoint.
autopoint is in charge of copying in gettext support files.

autopoint looks in a gettext installed file:

 /usr/share/gettext/archive.dir.tar.xz

Which contains, among other things,

 -rw-r--r--    root/root      13567 gettext-0.18/m4/threadlib.m4

Then it tries to copy it over, but complains that the version we have in GNU
poke is different.  This makes sense, because it is from a version from a more
recent gnulib.

If you pass -f to autoreconf -i, the old threadlib.m4 from gettext replaces our
gnulib threadlib.m4, and bang.
