Description

autoconf-2.71 released a while ago:

It's mostly compatible to 2.69 but has a few minor changes in how macros are evaluated around AC_INIT and friends.

Looks like mc is one of those rare cases that broke:

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.71

$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.16.4

mc.git $ ./autogen.sh
autoreconf-2.71: export WARNINGS=
autoreconf-2.71: Entering directory '.'
autoreconf-2.71: running: autopoint --force
