-A final word of warning: Gnulib currently assumes it will be
-responsible for @emph{all} functions that end up in the Autoconf
-@code{@@LIBOBJS@@} variables (and/or @code{@@LTLIBOBJS@@} if using
-Libtool), e.g., those specified in @code{AC_REPLACE_FUNCS} in your
-@file{configure.ac}.  Therefore, if you have any functions which are
-not covered by Gnulib which need that treatment, you have to
-essentially reimplement AC_REPLACE_FUNCS using different names; for an
-example, see the Findutils sources.  Perhaps this will be improved in
-the future.
+Finally, note that you can not use @code{AC_LIBOBJ} or
+@code{AC_REPLACE_FUNCS} in your @file{configure.ac} and expect the
+resulting object files to be automatically added to @file{lib/libgnu.a}.
+This is because your @code{AC_LIBOBJ} and @code{AC_REPLACE_FUNCS} invocations
+from @file{configure.ac} augment a variable @code{@@LIBOBJS@@} (and/or
+@code{@@LTLIBOBJS@@} if using Libtool), whereas @file{lib/libgnu.a}
+is build from the contents of a different variable, usually
+@code{@@gl_LIBOBJS@@} (or @code{@@gl_LTLIBOBJS@@} is using Libtool).
