Hi Joseph,

This isn't an objection, since upgrading auto* for the toolchain can be
complicated, but note that AC_PROG_CC_C99 is obsolete in Autoconf 2.70

Ah - in which case changing to an about-to-be-obsolete macro is probably a bad idea.

and instead AC_PROG_CC enables C11 mode if supported.  (So moving to the
latest Autoconf and Automake releases would supersede this change.)

Makes sense. Is changing to autoconf 2.70 something that is planned for the near future ?

I actually have a Fedora BZ open suggesting that the binutils be upgraded to use autoconf 2.71. I have put off doing this however as I am not an autoconf expert and I have no idea what the consequences might be.

Cheers
  Nick
