I have updated m4/glib-gettext.m4 to the version from glib 2.48.

Deleting it seems to work as well. I'm not sure why it is added in gnubg. Maybe this is from when glib was not a prerequisite ? Anyway, leaving it but updating it looked safer.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Arch Linux update from 2016-04-18
2. gnubg checkout from 2016-04-18
3. ./autogen.sh

Expected:
Configure script created

Actual:
+ aclocal -I m4
m4/glib-gettext.m4:39: error: m4_copy: won't overwrite defined macro: glib_DEFUN
m4/glib-gettext.m4:39: the top level

Analysis:
A glib update to 2.48-0 has changed /usr/share/aclocal/glib-gettext.m4. Since it's no longer identical to m4/glib-gettext.m4 from gnubg, aclocal doesn't know how to resolve the clash.

Locally, I've just deleted m4/glib-gettext.m4 so that the system one is used, but I've got not idea what the correct and portable resolution is.

It looks like the Debian folks had much the same issue recently: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818889
