To be able to compile here the current source with

   --with-system-potrace

I've to add the following patch

--- m4/kpse-potrace-flags.m4
+++ m4/kpse-potrace-flags.m4    2023-02-23 14:01:40.495959746 +0000
@@ -27,5 +27,4 @@ AC_DEFUN([KPSE_POTRACE_OPTIONS], [_KPSE_
 
 # KPSE_POTRACE_SYSTEM_FLAGS
 # ------------------------
-AC_DEFUN([KPSE_POTRACE_SYSTEM_FLAGS], [dnl
-_KPSE_PKG_CONFIG_FLAGS([POTRACE], [POTRACE])])
+AC_DEFUN([KPSE_POTRACE_SYSTEM_FLAGS], [_KPSE_LIB_FLAGS_SYSTEM([potrace], [potrace])])

as otherwise the configure script breaks on detecting and using
the libpotrace. AFAIK the potrace does not have a pkgconfig .pc
file as well as upper case `POTRACE' would not match.
