+ vararrays: modernize AC_C_VARARRAYS for C11
+ This backports a change I recently made to Autoconf.
+ * m4/vararrays.m4 (AC_C_VARARRAYS): Define __STDC_NO_VLA__ if
+ VLAs are not supported, as this is what C11 does. The old macro
+ HAVE_C_VARARRAYS is still defined if they are supported, but is
+ now obsolescent. Also, check for VLA bug in GCC 3.4.3.
