That sounds like a bad idea. If you cannot update the Autoconf 2.59 system, then you should add required fixes to your package. For example, you could use m4_ifdef([AC_PROG_CC_C99], [...], [...]) to find out whether this macro is defined, and otherwise define your own version of it, to the one that does the checks done in current Autoconf, for example. And then call that. We don't really support bugs in 2.59 any more.
