PHP configure works properly only with autoconf-2.13 which was the last =
working autoconf.

Which autoconf was the last "working" one is a matter of opinion at this =
point. The Autoconf people would love for us to stop using 2.13 - the =
only reason it still exists is because we use it. (Or so I'm told, =
anyway, I don't know this for a fact firsthand.) Personally, I'd rather =
see PHP go to CMake. CMake does have its own host of problems, but they =
could be dealt with. And yes, I would volunteer to revive the CMake =
effort.
