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

[Gerald Pfeifer]

Starting last night, or the night before, I believe, my automated
testers now issue the following warning on SUSE Linux 10.1/i386,
and others:

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

Is this possibly related to the following?

   configure: Regenerated with autoconf 2.59d.

And should we worry about it, or is there a way to disable it?
