Thank you both.
I've just done this for coreutils:
* search-libs.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Remove file/macro, now that
this replacement is no longer needed. Besides, this macro has
no effect with autoconf-2.58, since `undefine' in package-supplied
.m4 files is no longer honored. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
Remove now-unnecessary (and unused) files. They also used `undefine'.
* isc-posix.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Remove file.
* getloadavg.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Remove file.
* prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ): Require AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG,
not gl_FUNC_GETLOADAVG.
