In the installation instructions for Xorg 7.1 (modular), in the Xorg
Utilities section, the last package installed is util-macros.
Since $XORG_CONFIG contains {{{--datadir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib}}}, the
configure script for util-macros is passed that parameter. It proceeds to
install two .m4 files (custom automake macros) into /usr/lib/aclocal. But
aclocal does not look in /usr/lib/aclocal, it only looks in
/usr/share/aclocal (its ${datadir}/aclocal).
The easiest fix is to add {{{--datadir=$XORG_PREFIX/share}}} to the end of
the util-macros configure script invocation (overriding $XORG_CONFIG).
But this isn't an issue unless someone develops software that (1) uses
automake, and (2) requires these custom Xorg macros. (Well, and (3)
doesn't add {{{-I$XORG_PREFIX/lib/aclocal}}} to their invocation of
aclocal. But no other package uses e.g. /usr/lib/aclocal, so adding this
will certainly not be common.) It's likely a fairly minor problem because
of that.
