  For anyone who might stumble upon this post in future:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-03/msg00122.html

contains the excellent advice "you always want to match ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS from
Makefile.am".  (The rest of the thread is instructive, too.)  So I got .. and
../config the wrong way round there:

$ grep ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS Makefile.in
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I .. -I ../config -I ../bfd
        cd $(srcdir) && $(ACLOCAL) $(ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS)


... and that may well be important, because when I regenerated it with the
includes in the correct order, the generated aclocal.m4 was slightly different:
