L-series created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1792



## Description of problem:
When running the bootstrap script or autoreconf, the newer version of autopoint detects duplicate `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION` macros.

## Version of gnutls used:

Commit id: `c235143f6f46edcd99eaffca7c848b51a753724a`

## Distributor of gnutls (e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL)

Build from source. 

## How reproducible:

Consistently

Steps to Reproduce:

 * one: Make sure gettext v1.0 is installed on the system.
 * two: run either `./bootstrap` or `autoreconf -fiv`

## Actual results:

```
./bootstrap: autopoint --force
autopoint: *** found more than one invocation of AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION
autopoint: *** Stop.
```

## Expected results:

A single invocation of the macro is detected. 


The offending lines of code are in configure.ac:411-415

```
AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external])
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19])
m4_ifdef([AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION],[
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION([0.19])
])
```
