Ok.  This is a known bug in 1.4, fixed in the prereleases.  It will
also be fixed in 1.5.

Meanwhile you can just drop AC_PROG_CC into configure.in and automake
will shut up.  If you want you can do this in a hacky way to fool
automake:

    if false; then
      AC_PROG_CC
    fi

There might be RPMs of 1.4d (the current prerelease).  I don't know, I
don't keep track.  There might not be since I got annoyed last time an
RPM was made of the cvs repository.  Making an RPM of 1.4d would be
different, though -- at least it corresponds to a known point in time.
