Given that gnu itself states no notice is required I consider this
discussion closed.

I'm not saying that the license is incompatible, I am saying that you

The critical reference is:
http://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/autoconf-2.53/html_node/Distributing.html#Distributing
In particular, the files generated by autoconf can be distributed under
the same license as the rest of the package. Therefore, although the
files confusing claim to be GPL, they are actually being distributed
under the Apache license. My understanding is that only used components
that have a different license need to be in NOTICE. I believe this is a
non-issue.
