This indeed is wrong usage of autoconf.  But there can be two reasons:
1) kdevelop really is creating such a configure.in by a bogus
   configure.in.in.  In that case it shouldn't AC_REQUIRE() that macro,
   but instead just call it (or provide a wrapper macro which AC_REQUIRE()
   the above one, and is itself called, which would have the same semantic
   as a toplevel AC_REQUIRE.  I don't know for sure, but I can't really
   imagine kdevelop doing this, as KDE_CHECK_EXTRA_LIBS() is internal.
2) a bogus aclocal.m4.  Last night an interesting bracket mismatch was
   fixed in acinclude.m4.in, specifically mentioning autoconf 2.52.  It
   may be that problem, and it's enough if you update kde-common.

And this is line 35?  Indeed bogus.


Ciao,
