Those are only for silencing the configure script that I regenerated
using autoconf v2.61.  What configure issues is as follows:

config.status: WARNING:  Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting

feature go well, and the configure script generated by those
versions of autoconf issues it.

I followed the way that has been done in the Emacs trunk.
