Ah, that normally happens as part of LT_INIT, and what is broken is that we
use some other libtool autoconf macro before LT_INIT. We should move things
so GMP_PROG_NM (or at least LT_PATH_NM) is after LT_INIT.
(LT_PATH_NM used to be AC_PROG_NM and not part of libtool I think, so it
didn't need this ordering in the past)
Since GMP_PROG_NM/GMP_PROG_AR should be at the same time before and after
LT_INIT, it will require someone else to deal with that. In the meantime,
I added AC_PROG_SED before as a workaround, with a FIXME note.
If I run .bootstrap now on shell (freebsd 12.2) after removing
/home/gmp/usr/bin from my PATH so I get the tools from /usr/local/bin, I
have a number of errors, but I think that's just because libtool is not installed.

So essentially the windows macro (waits until it can be tested), the C99
one (harmless, but can only be removed after increasing AC_PREREQ), and
the others you mentioned. For AC_PROG_LEX, I see in demos/calc/calclex.l
int
yywrap ()
{
return 1;
}
which I think means that we would be fine with noyywrap, but that's
definitely not something I am familiar with, and again it will require
increasing AC_PREREQ.
Torbjörn, I think we could start generating the GMP tarballs with newer
autotools at this point (the newer the better, probably).
