Update minimum C compiler supported to C11 plus stdatomic.h
We were using a somewhat odd mix of gnu99 with a fallback atomics.h so
we could build with gcc 4.7. Lets requires a compiler that can do at
least C11 and has a stdatomic.h. So we can build against any C
standard >= C11 (including C17 and C23). That means GCC 4.9+.
GCC 4.9 was released in 2014.
The lowest compiler version we check in the buildbots is currently
GCC 8.3.0 (Debian old old stable, released in 2018).
Also update the minimum autoconf version to 2.69. We would really like
2.70+ so we don't need the gnulib gnu11.m4. But 2.69 still seems in
use on various stable systems. autoconf 2.70 was released end of 2020,
autoconf 2.69 in 2012.
* configure.ac (AC_PACKAGE_URL): Removed workaround for
autoconf < 2.64.
(AC_PREREQ): Update from 2.63 to 2.69.
(AC_PROG_CC): Test for ac_cv_prog_cc_c11.
(AC_CACHE_CHECK for stdatomic.h
* config/eu.am (AM_CFLAGS): Remove -std=gnu99.
* lib/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove atomics.h and
stdatomic-fbsd.h.
* lib/atomics.h: Removed.
* lib/stdatomic-fbsd.h: Removed.
* lib/dynamicsizehash_concurrent.h: Include stdatomic.h.
* libdw/libdw_alloc.c: Likewise.
* m4/.gitignore: Add !/std-gnu11.m4.
* m4/std-gnu11.m4: New file from gnulib to provide AC_PROG_CC
from autoconf 2.70.
