Cannot automake after patching grub with grub-2003-01-08-doc.patch

[Selwyn Tang]

Dear all,

I solved the problem. It was that I've forgotten to symlink my aclocal, 
which was 1.4p5 from RH7.3, to 1.5, together with automake. After that, 
aclocal, automake and autoconf run successfully, but with the following 
warnings when running autoconf:

   configure.in:17: warning: do not use m4_patsubst: use patsubst or
   m4_bpatsubst
   configure.in:700: warning: do not use m4_regexp: use regexp or
   m4_bregexp

I don't know if they bother, but I got grub_firmware produced.
