Incompatibility with upcoming autoconf-2.70: configure.ac:111: error: AC_REQUIRE(_AC_INIT_AUX_DIR): cannot be used outside of an AC_DEFUN'd macr

Autoconf-2.70 beta3 fails to generate configure with the following error:

$ ./autogen.sh
Activating pre-commit hook.
I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
