This explains indeed why GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T can come
out as empty. Thanks for this confirmation that it is not
a bug in gnulib.
Generally, in 'aclocal' invocations, use -I options to
specify:
- first, the directory(ies) containing *.m4 files of
your package and the directory containing *.m4 files
coming from gnulib,
- *after that*, directories outside your package.
This is optional: when automake was installed with
--prefix=/foo, it will automatically search
/foo/share/aclocal/. See
