It was found that there is currently a conflict for the cond.m4 that
is also shipped by automake, making the gnulib one having priority causing
problem with finding AM_CONDITIONAL macro.

To handle this, install gnulib .m4 file with a gl_ prefix to the
filename.

This make sure gnulib .m4 file won't have name conflict with automake
.m4 default files permitting correct autoreconf run of any affected
package by this.
