Thanks. I confirm that it is fixed in Autoconf 2.71.

This should be fixed in the just-released 2.71.

With autoconf master as of 2021-01-15, the problem is fixed. I.e. the generated configure script now adds '-std=gnu99' to $CC again.

This is a regression in autoconf 2.70, compared to version 2.69:

Take a tarball with C source code that makes use of C99 features. For example:

./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=../testdir5 --single-configure dfa

(with current gnulib).

Build it on Mac OS X 10.5, with CC="gcc -m64".

With autoconf 2.69, the config.status file contains

S["CC"]="gcc -m64 -std=gnu99"

and the compilation goes through.

With autoconf 2.70, the config.status file contains

S["CC"]="gcc -m64"

and the compilation fails with errors such as "error: 'for' loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode".
