* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove cf77 and cft77
AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.

* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
(AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,
not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change,
Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.

If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
