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.

We should fix those:
