 If you want @command{autoreconf} to pass flags that are not listed here
 on to @command{aclocal}, set @code{ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS} in your @file{Makefile.am}.
+Due to a limitation in the Autoconf implementation these flags currently
+must be set on a single line in @file{Makefile.am}, without any
+backslash-newlines.
