Just ran into this problem and found this fix.

The autoconf-archive has an exception on it with respect to the GPL: 
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/Introduction.html#Introduction

The macros seem to be designed to be added to the build as needed, which means 
no build prereqisites changing, it’s just another macro in the build directory. 
I’m happy to just include the macro, which we can then backport to v1.7.

Reinstated the patch plus the changes to include the macro at r1871998.

Regards,
Graham
