I have patches ready for this at
https://github.com/petere/postgresql/tree/autoconf-updates.
My thinking was to wait until Autoconf 2.71 has trickled down into the
OS versions that developers are likely to use. To survey that, I'm tracking
https://packages.debian.org/sid/autoconf [in testing]
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=autoconf [in jammy, will be
22.04 LTS]
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/autoconf [in Fedora 36, planned
2022-04-19]
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/autoconf [done]
Currently, I think early PG16 might be good time to do this update.
