It's the first time I use this collection of macros. I discovered it 
while trying to fix the issue.

What's old are some macros in the collection; using the word "old" was 
useless. For the specific error you reported, the required macro is 
ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4. Other macros (from the collection) are 
probably required (I did not check).

Where autoconf-archive (and the packaging system) wants them to be 
installed; on my Debian 12 system, they are installed in /usr/share/aclocal/

The collection of collections:
