    Makefile: work around AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED problem · c0f3c75e

    We check to make sure that we properly include all needed .m4 files that
    are used from other .m4 files we install by building a list of all
    references and checking to make sure those are all actually defined.
    
    This has been tripped up by this macro definition in
    ax_compiler_flags.m4:
    
      m4_defun([_AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_LANG],
      [m4_ifdef([_AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_LANG_]$1[_enabled], [],
                [m4_define([_AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_LANG_]$1[_enabled], [])dnl
                 AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED([AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_]$1[FLAGS])])dnl
      ])
    
    which tries to depend on a macro with a name calculated from its
    argument.
    
    Our simple regexp matching decides that AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_ is the name
    of the required macro here, and that is not defined anywhere, so the
    build fails.
    
    Update the regexp not to match macro names ending with an underscore in
    order to work around the issue for now.
    
    I tried to use m4 to expand the file, but it seems that it doesn't work
    because the invocations are protected by the [quoting] used in AC_-style
    macro invocations.  Maybe we can find a better way to fix this in the
    future, but this approach works for now.
