We did.
1) The new experimental version of GCC doesn't suppress -Wundef in the
system headers. The documentation says that "certain categories of
warnings are suppressed" without naming those categories. This is a change
(intentional or unintentional) of the undocumented behaviour, so we
shouldn't complain to the GCC developers (but we probably should warn them
just in case).
2) Autoconf considers headers that generate warnings as nonexistent. This
is a bug in autoconf that needs to be fixed.
