Autotools 2.70

Autotools 2.70 have enabled warning by default for obsolete constructs:

*** Warnings about obsolete constructs are now on by default.

  These warnings can be turned off with ‘-Wno-obsolete’.

  Many of these warnings advise maintainers to run autoupdate.
  Be aware that autoupdate cannot solve all backward compatibility
  problems, and cannot completely solve all of the problems it does
  address.  A configure script edited by autoupdate is likely to
  need further manual fix-ups.

(from https://lwn.net/Articles/839395/)

We should fix those:
