Yes, that's right, but I was thinking to `builtin'.  But indeed its
existence is not widely advertised, and in the context of Autoconf it
is far too low level, so I understand the position of the binutils.

Indirect call of builtins
=========================

   Builtin macros can be called indirectly with `builtin':

     builtin(NAME, ...)

which results in a call to the builtin NAME, which is passed the rest
of the arguments.  This can be used, if NAME has been given another
definition that has covered the original.

   The macro `builtin' is recognized only with parameters.
