Thank you both. I've just done this for coreutils: * search-libs.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Remove file/macro, now that this replacement is no longer needed. Besides, this macro has no effect with autoconf-2.58, since `undefine' in package-supplied .m4 files is no longer honored. Reported by Andreas Schwab. Remove now-unnecessary (and unused) files. They also used `undefine'. * isc-posix.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Remove file. * getloadavg.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Remove file. * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Require AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG, not gl_FUNC_GETLOADAVG.
