Hi

In addition to the other replies, here some thoughts on the mentioned
macros (see below):

That one's fine, since not all compilers implement C99.

> AC_C_CONST

This macro is marked as obsolescent:

> AC_TYPE_PID_T
> AC_TYPE_SIZE_T

Those two might be useful.

> AC_STRUCT_TM

That one's obsolescent too:
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Particular-Structures.html#index-AC_005fSTRUCT_005fTM-693

> AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID

Obsolescent:
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Particular-Functions.html#index-AC_005fFUNC_005fCLOSEDIR_005fVOID-380

> AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE

Obsolescent, use Gnulib instead:
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Particular-Functions.html#index-AC_005fFUNC_005fERROR_005fAT_005fLINE-385

> AC_FUNC_FORK
> AC_FUNC_MALLOC
> AC_FUNC_REALLOC

Could be useful too.

> AC_TYPE_SIGNAL

I pretty much bet that you require a C89 compiler and thus this macro is
also pretty much useless to you:
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Obsolete-Macros.html#index-AC_005fTYPE_005fSIGNAL-2139

> AC_FUNC_VPRINTF

Obsolescent:
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Particular-Functions.html#index-AC_005fFUNC_005fVPRINTF-546
