commit 0abda558bc547991cddd9667be722eaeb428dca8
Author: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

Port configure.ac to future Gnulib
Rewrite an ancient Alpha ELF check to port to a future Gnulib
version that may require AC_CHECK_DECL to be set up properly as
per the ‘Expanded Before Required’ section of the Autoconf manual
Autoconf doesn’t guarantee that AC_CHECK_DECL will work properly
if called conditionally (e.g., inside a shell ‘case’ statement)
and the condition is false. Problem reported by Bruno Haible in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2020-01/msg00088.html
* configure.ac (LD_SWITCH_MACHINE): Migrate ELF check later,
when AC_CHECK_DECL is properly set up.
