Attached are proposed patches to do something along those lines, the 
first for Autoconf and the second to propagate this change into Gnulib. 
I haven't installed these.

I used the macro name AC_SYS_YEAR2038_RECOMMENDED instead, as I found 
the "OPT_OUT" name confusing (was it the configure.ac writer who was 
opting out, or the builder who is running 'configure'?). Also, I got rid 
of AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_RECOMMENDED as it's one less thing to test before a 
release and nobody appears to need that new macro.
