This is fine with me, unless the problem is in Automake: they want to
keep maintaining ansi2knr, so if the problem was there, we ought to
know what went wrong.

Also, GCC does keep the K&R requirement, although in a limited form
(IIRC the stage 1 compiler must compile with a K&R compiler).  I
suspect that the bitset lib must remain K&R.

Did you have any news from its author?
