Warnings like this can safely be ignored, you often get tons of them. At one 
point in time, the autoconf people decided to issue warnings for some things 
which have been documented as "don't do this", but it obviously takes ages 
until all packages obey these simple rules. The progreiserfs.m4 probably 
belongs to some badly maintained ReiserFS library which is installed on the 
system and gets included via arcane ways. Ugly, but nothing to worry about, 
as autoconf still does the same as before...
