Package: autoconf-archive
Version: 20190106-2.1
Severity: important

ax_pthread.m4 uses the obsolete $as_echo:

  ax_pthread_link_step=`$as_echo "$ac_link" | sed "$ax_pthread_sed"`

(which isn't even documented in Autoconf 2.69, from 2012).

With Autoconf 2.71, I get a warning:

configure.ac:556: warning: $as_echo is obsolete; use AS_ECHO(["message"]) 
instead

and this makes "autoreconf --warnings=all,error" (as used in MPFR) fail.
