Waldemar, All,

So, this is all caused by the aclocal.m4 file in the top-level of autofs
source tree.
Here is a proper fix:
1. change configure.in to have:
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])
2. as a post-patch hook:
mkdir $(@D)/m4
mv $(@D)/aclocal.m4 $(@D)/m4/autofs-macros.m4
And there you go, PKG_CHECK_MODULES is properly expanded now.
So, it looks like aclocal.m4 acts as a kind of "I bundle all I
need, don't look in system include dirs".
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
