Yes, it is undefined, because it should be (or used to be) in the dev
package of libgnutls, but no longer is, because they apparently decided
they had a better approach.

Yes.
And your patch even fixes a build breakage.
So it is good.
Only it seems to be not what libgnutls upstream seems to want.
So I figured, if you already hacking there anyways, maybe just do it the
way gnutls upstream feels would be the right way.

I don't care either way. But if gnutls still things this macro should be
how autofoo should be done, then they should package it themselves,
just as it used to be. Or we should do whatever they feel is the right
way to gnutls autofoo integration now.

It cannot possibly be their intention that any libgnutls user should
have its own private copy of libgnutls.m4.

Am I misunderstanding something?

Is this just a packaging error of libgnutls?
