You shouldn't need to keep the old version around, it's supposed to be
a drop-in replacement.  The reason I used a new name was that I'm not
sure if GCC project can wait till we have a suitable macro in autoconf.

Even if you put it now into the autoconf codebase, GCC would presumably
have to wait for some time after the next release to use it.
