Re: INSTALL should tell about particular systems, HP-UX cc

[Bruno Haible]

Ping? What about installing the patch in
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2008-04/msg00050.html ?

The part about HP-UX (-Ae option) could be dropped if
  1) AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is modified to add -Ae.
and
  2) AC_PROG_CC_STDC is modified to reject K&R C compilers.

Status of 1): Everyone appears to agree, but no one has done the work yet.
Status of 2): Not everyone agrees that this should be done, or at least an
escape for old K&R C packages should be offered.

So what is hindering this patch from being applied?
