Well, for starters, they violate Autoconf's namespace by using variables matching ac_* which may clash with Autoconf-provided ones. Whether this gets them into trouble (with some Autoconf version) or not, is their problem.

He's using Autoconf 2.59. Not sure what you're referring to, but that version did have working compile-time size check IIRC.
