That's the goal for autoconf 2.64.
Hmm -- this seems to be different than what Ralf W. replied...?
Greping through a git clone of the autoconf repo, I don't see any
mention of AC_RESTRICT...?
Thanks for the pointer. Can you please verify whether this test,
recently
added in autoconf.git, correctly detects that your situation is not
yet
accommodated?

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.
Yes, that was a Sun Studio workaround. This issue is different; it is
with the PGI compiler on Linux (although, perhaps confusingly, also
discovered by a different Sun employee).
I'll reply more on Ralf's post.
