Hi!

Within the last release of the GNU Autoconf Archive, a change [0] for =
AX_PTHREAD
was merged which seemed to be based on some confusion regarding =
autotools' build
system triplets.

I think we've now reached a conclusion with the original contributor, as =
can be seen on the comments
of that commit on GitHub [1].

One of my colleagues in Gentoo has opened a pull request [2] to revert =
this change. Would it be possible
to apply this and cut a new release at your convenience?

We're particularly concerned about this change "leaking" downstreams, =
resulting in a network-effect
as distributions pick up the buggy change and people attempt to "fix" =
their configure.ac to pull in
CANONICAL_TARGET unnecessarily. Acting sooner will help limit the =
scope/blast radius from this
change.

(I've also CCed the Debian and Fedora maintainers for autoconf-archive =
to make them aware.)

Best,
sam
