The newlib & libgloss dirs are already generated using autoconf-2.69.
To avoid merging new code and/or accidental regeneration using diff
versions, leverage config/override.m4 to pin to 2.69 exactly. This
matches what gcc/binutils/gdb are already doing.
The README file already says to use autoconf-2.69.
To accomplish this, it's just as simple as adding -I flags to the
top-level config/ dir when running aclocal. This is because the
override.m4 file overrides AC_INIT to first require the specific
autoconf version before calling the real AC_INIT.
Since automake deprecated the INCLUDES name in favor of AM_CPPFLAGS,
change all existing users over. The generated code is the same since
the two variables have been used in the same exact places by design.
There are other cleanups to be done, but lets focus on just renaming
here so we can upgrade to a newer automake version w/out triggering
new warnings.

This patch adds enough support for constructors/destructors and OS functions
to be able to link and run gfortran programs on AMD GCN.
There's no actual ability to do I/O operations on this targets, besides
"write" to stdout and stderr, so most of the functions are just stubs.
Add support for the AMD GCN GPU architecture. This is primarily intended for
use with OpenMP and OpenACC offloading. It can also be used for stand-alone
programs, but this is intended mostly for testing the compiler and is not
expected to be useful in general.
The GPU architecture is highly parallel, and therefore Newlib must be
configured to use dynamic re-entrancy, and thread-safe malloc.
The only I/O available is a via a shared-memory interface provided by libgomp
and the gcn-run tool included with GCC. At this time this is limited to
stdout, argc/argv, and the return code.
