here, such as dubious instructions in @file{Makefile.am}. This has
absolutely nothing to do with how the compiler will be called, even
though it may support options with similar names. Using @option{-Wall
an @env{AUTOCONF} variable in your environment it will be used
instead of @command{autoconf}; this allows you to select a particular
version of Autoconf. By the way, don't misunderstand this paragraph:
