@argv_minus_one You know... `autoconf` was for times, when we have several #Unix systems in the field, each significantly different from each other, especially in terms of `libc` support. Today we have 3, with one having two flavours - `musl` and `glibc`; third one from #Apple is not usually that strongly supported.
Then keep in mind `autoconf` was practically non-existent on #Windows (and no, #Cygwin and #msys don't count).
