[PATCH v0 00/10] Fix obsolescence warnings when regenerating build scripts with autoreconf-2.72

[Matthieu Longo]

This patch series replaces obsolete macros that are warned on by autoreconf-2.72.
It aims at removing noise from a future upgrade to autoreconf-2.72 or later.
This is in no way a complete patch set allowing the upgrade to autoreconf-2.72.

Please find here below the list of changes along the doc links.

- delete obsolete unused m4 file config/uintmax_t.m4

I splitted the diff of the generated files in the last commit of the patch series so that it is easier to review.

I regenerated the build files using the contrib/autoregen.py script mentioned in https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2024-April/133731.html with the following configuration:
+ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
+ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.15.1
+ aclocal --version
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.15.1
+ autoheader --version
autoheader (GNU Autoconf) 2.69


Ok for binutils-master? I don't have commit access so I need someone to commit on my behalf.

Regards,
Matthieu
