While the patches in principle look harmless, I stand by what I said in [1]:
* The patch to gnulib/m4/std-gnu11.m4 is interesting to us *once* the
corresponding Autoconf patch [2] has been accepted.
* The patch to gnulib/build-aux/config.rpath is interesting to us *once* the
corresponding Libtool patch [3] has been accepted.
Yes, I know, maintenance on the Autoconf and Libtool side is slow these days.
