GCC warns when a function attribute has no effect. The autoconf check turns warnings about attributes into errors, therefore thinking that they did not work. The reason was that the test function returned void, which is not suitable for checking both __malloc__ and __warn_unused_result__. |

These files are used by a program called aclocal (part of the GNU automake package). aclocal uses these files to create aclocal.m4 which is in turn used by autoconf to create the configure script at the the top level in this distribution. The Makefile.am file in this directory is automatically generated from the template file, Makefile.am.in. The generation will fail if you don't have all the right tools.
