  23 +*** AC_CHECK_FUNC and similar macros now use function prototypes.
  24 +  AC_CHECK_FUNC and and similar macros now use C declarations with
  25 +  function prototypes, a feature introduced in C89.  The new approach
  26 +  should work better with C23, which removed the non-prototyped K&R
  27 +  style that AC_CHECK_FUNC previously used.  However, this change
  28 +  means Autoconf no longer supports pre-1989 C compilers, as they do
  29 +  not support function prototypes.
  30 +
  31  *** Autoconf now requires perl 5.10 (2007) or later.
  32    Generated 'configure' scripts continue to run without perl.
