If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.

after which './config' gives me
./configure: line 1994: syntax error near unexpected token `1.10'
./configure: line 1994: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(1.10 dist-xz no-dist-gzip -Wall

I looked up 'm4_pattern_allow' and found this
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Forbidden-Patterns
but I'm unclear on where in what file to use 'm4_pattern_allow' or if this is
indeed the appropriate solution.
