Description:
Part of `make dist` involves using autotools to generate configure scripts.

I've updated my toolchain to use autoconf 2.71, which seems to match other
active Tcl developers.

I currently see this warning:

cd /home/dgp/fossil/tcl9.0b1/unix; autoconf
configure.ac:998: warning: AC_C_BIGENDIAN should be used with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
User Comments: jan.nijtmans added on 2023-11-23 15:36:15:

This warning is a false-alarm: It is only needed when building MacOS universion binaries, which are not supported any more.

Found a way to silence this warning .... Done for all branches

Same warning from Tk:

cd /home/dgp/fossil/tk/unix/../unix; autoconf
configure.ac:799: warning: AC_C_BIGENDIAN should be used with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
