I think the easiest way to achieve this is to checkout the autoconf at these versions, and build it yourself. Iirc it was quite easy to build autoconf (anything else would be a shame and very bad PR for the project! :-o). I'm hoping you are willing to do this, since I believe this is a superior solution and I'd like to see it in mainline. (Otherwise, let me know and I'll try to squeeze in doing it.) ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17401#issuecomment-1938730535
