I noticed this while updating libvirt to the latest gnulib.
configure.ac:80: warning: AC_REQUIRE: `gl_STDINT_H' was expanded before it was
required
gnulib/m4/inttypes.m4:18: gl_INTTYPES_INCOMPLETE is expanded from...
gnulib/m4/inttypes.m4:12: gl_INTTYPES_H is expanded from...
gnulib/m4/gnulib-comp.m4:379: gl_INIT is expanded from...
configure.ac:80: the top level
* m4/inttypes.m4 (gl_INTTYPES_INCOMPLETE): Only expand once.
* m4/stdint.m4 (gl_STDINT_H): Likewise.

The interaction stems from the direct expansion in modules/stdint
vs. the AC_REQUIRE([gl_STDINT_H]) in inttypes.m4. I'm not sure
what sequence of modules triggered this (that is, I could reproduce
it in libvirt, but not using ./gnulib-tool --with-tests in isolation),
but I did validate that this fixes it. Besides, per the autoconf
manual, the easiest fix is to make the macros one-shot, after
verifying that they indeed only need to run once.
