Interesting, I never realized that. After a bit of experiment, it seems
like passing a -I option makes a difference:

thomas at windsurf:~/projets/open-lldp (master)$ autoreconf -f -i -I "/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/share/aclocal" -I "/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/share/aclocal"
aclocal: error: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
thomas at windsurf:~/projets/open-lldp (master)$ autoreconf -f -i -I "/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/share/aclocal"
aclocal: error: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
thomas at windsurf:~/projets/open-lldp (master)$ autoreconf -f -i  -I "/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/share/aclocal"

Even more funny:

thomas at windsurf:~/projets/open-lldp (master)$ mkdir /tmp/foo
thomas at windsurf:~/projets/open-lldp (master)$ autoreconf -f -i  -I /tmp/foo/
aclocal: error: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

Not sure what's going on here :)

Best regards,

Thomas
