m4_flatten should work everywhere. It's the AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAGS that
depends on autoconf 2.64.
I can fix the dependency, but it ends up looking like:
m4_version_prereq([2.64], [
AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG([-std=gnu90],[CSTD=-std=gnu90],[CSTD=-std=gnu89])
], [
AX_GCC_VERSION([4], [5], [0], [CSTD=-std=gnu90],[CSTD=-std=gnu89])
])
AC_SUBST([CSTD])
AX_GCC_VERSION is deprecated, but works with earlier autoconf versions.
I'm not thrilled about it, but keying off the autoconf version and using
the newer way for newer versions means it'll be easier to drop it later
when we drop support for earlier autoconf.
Alternatively, I can just put this patch in the OBS project.
