Running autoreconf etc is fragile, unless you track the
development-process of libidn carefully and re-bootstrap everything the
same way as we do.  You can see some work on this here:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libidn.git/tree/bootstrap.conf#n91

I would recommend either building from tarball without doing
re-bootstrapping, or build from git source-code download with proper
bootstrapping.

The macro is invoked via gnulib, see gl/m4/gnulib-comp.m4 and
gl/m4/stdint.m4.
