I thought manually setting up config.h.in was obsolete -- aren't people
supposed to be using AC_DEFINE/AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED in their configure.ac
file, and then have autoheader take those declarations and turn them
into config.h.in files?

Correct. But it's easier for the script to base its checks on the contents of config.h.in, not configure.ac.

Depending on the developers' version of autoheader, it might be possible
to fix this by just running it on either configure.ac or configure.in
(for the packages that still use the old filename).

No, if the relevant check is not in configure.ac. Please provide the sequence of autocommands that actually fix the gawk-3.1.5 bug :)
