Sorry about that. I knew there were problems with old autotools and quickly

What are the problems? Our workaround is to rerun the latest autoreconf, and it
emits a lot of warnings, but it does not create trouble. What are the symptoms
you are seeing?
First, a large number of warnings can be a bit scary. Then, when I run
configure, I get errors like
configure: line 12166: 1q: command not found
because configure put some uses of $SED before the code that sets the
variable SED.
I tried autoupdate, as suggested by the warnings, but it replaced
AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL with something non-functional IIRC.
It is likely that these issues and others are not too hard to deal with,
but I don't have time for that now, and it is easy not to notice some
issues that only affect other platforms so it didn't feel safe at the last
minute.
One other question: our Linux builder, which is running from Github Actions,
fails to download from gmplib.org
I thought only the mercurial repo was firewalled, is that not the case?
I don't know, but you can also download from the FSF servers.
