That's the goal for autoconf 2.64.

Thanks for the pointer.  Can you please verify whether this test, recently
added in autoconf.git, correctly detects that your situation is not yet

It is the testsuite followup to the earlier patch:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=commitdiff;h=aa30765

but that patch was indeed Sun specific.
