Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to build 2.24.1 from sources. It is failing on an old Fedora machine with the error:

    Autoconf 2.59 or higher is required

The irony of Autootools checking version numbers is not lost on me considering I only run configure, make and make install.

Would it be possible to drop the Autotools version back to earlier versions of Git?
