This is an error message from Thrift, not from Autoconf,
so it's not something that the Autoconf folks can do anything
about.  For more information about this particular problem see:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-858

More generally, it sounds like you're assuming that the
development host must be the same as the final operating
platform.  That's rarely true for major projects these days;
it's quite common to assume that developers have more
up-to-date tools than whatever old OS their software
eventually has to run on.  If this doesn't describe your
development environment, it might be a good time to think
about upgrading.
