I noticed that after reconfiguing patch-2.5.9 it set CC="gcc -std=gnu99". It
doesn't do this with all packages.

Binutils is still using autoconf-2.13, and they use a special version of it.
The Binutils pt_pax patch should be an --enable-pt_pax with 'ld -z pt_pax",
instead of the way it is now. So it looks like we'd need at least two
versions of autoconf.
