Re: Possible regressions with trunk autoconf (vs 2.71)

[Frederic Berat]

I was a bit too conservative in my estimation, I'm done with the walkthrough.

I summary, I found 7 packages affected by a false negative on headers
check (mainly for stdbool.h), due to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2022-11/msg00127.html:
ledmon, libmobi, libsafec, steghide, srmio, ruby and apr.

On top of that at least one package is affected by
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2022-11/msg00110.html:
cifs-utils

The others are either quotation issues, or misplaced 'fi'.
