I had a quick look at this. We have three recipes in oe-core that "need"
gnome-common (python3-pygobject, gnome-desktop3, matchbox-desktop). The
only meaningful usage of gnome-common in their configure.ac's is
GNOME_COMPILE_WARNINGS().

with this in mind I would not object to just the original patch with the
autoconf-archive dependency removed. However, it would be nice to build
test the meta-openembedded recipes that depend on gnome-common (and add a
dependency to autoconf-archive to the recipes that seem to need it).
