ChannelDefs.pm *ought* to be kept in sync between automake and autoconf,
because it defines the set of valid -W options, and autoreconf assumes
that it can pass arbitrary -W options to all of the tools it invokes.
However, it isn’t covered by either project’s ‘make fetch’ and it hasn’t
actually *been* in sync for more than 17 years.
This patch manually brings over all of the changes made on the autoconf side.
Most importantly, there is a new warnings channel ‘cross’, for warnings
related to cross-compilation. Also, the ‘usage’ function now *returns*
the text to be put into a usage message, instead of printing it itself.
(This is necessary on autoconf’s side.)

became the recommended way to adjust the byte-compiler's destination.
The removed functionality has been restored for Emacs-26, albeit with
dissuasive diagnostics warning about the imminent removal of this
functionality. It will be removed in Emacs-27.
* lib/am/lisp.am (.el.elc): Use byte-compile-dest-file-function, rather
than byte-compile-dest-file. Also, use "-f batch-byte-compile '$<'"
rather than open-coding it, as suggested by Glenn Morris.
* t/lisp-readonly-srcdir.sh: New file, to test for the above.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bugs fixed): Mention this problem.

"make dist" did not depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES)
* lib/am/distdir.am (distdir-am): New intermediate target.
Interpose this target between $(distdir) and its dependency
on $(DISTFILES), so that we can ensure $(BUILT_SOURCES) are
all created before we begin creating $(DISTFILES).
* t/dist-vs-built-sources.sh: Test for this.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bugs fixed): Mention it.
Assaf Gordon reported that "make dist" (after ./configure
from a pristine clone of GNU hello) would fail due to the
absence of configmake.h while compiling lib/localcharset.c.
