Responding to my own query. I just checked and the cross-prelinker is already
setup for AC_PREREQ(2.50):
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/prelink-cross/tree/trunk/configure.in?h=cross_prelink
(The unmodified upstream -- master branch -- is still using AC_PREREQ(2.13).
But we don't use that in OE/Yocto Project work.)
The -- cross_prelink branch -- does still have the AM_CONFIG_HEADER. I'll get
that updated. I will also rename the configure.in to configure.ac and adjust
anything else that references that.
