No, I wasn't missing gnome-common

Sure, but the problem even occured when doing a 'jhbuild buildone foo'

Now, even jhbuild bootstrap did not make any change, but a

 export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /opt/gnome2/share/aclocal"

did get me past, but just to get stuck a few line later...

=========================
Please add the files
  codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
  progtest.m4
from the /opt/gnome2/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro
directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

aclocal.m4: 1901: `jm_MAINTAINER_MODE' is obsolete; use
`AM_MAINTAINER_MODE'
*** error during stage configure of gnomeicu: could not configure module

=================

And yes, I have copied the listed m4 macros
to /usr/share/autoconf/autoconf as asked, but that did not remedy. Also
removing aclocal.m4 did not help either.

C'mon, I have spend hours now ...
