Sergei Trofimovich 70f8d78dcc autoconf: pull upstream fix for autoreconf race
Before this change `xfce.garcon` did not always compile successfully:

    $ c=1; while nix build --rebuild -f. xfce.garcon --cores 1; do (( c+=1 )); echo again with $c; done
    ...
    again with 4
    garcon-gtk/Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
    .../am/depend2.am: error: am__fastdepCC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
    .../am/depend2.am:   The usual way to define 'am__fastdepCC' is to add 'AC_PROG_CC'

This happens due to an autoconf bug when m4 is called within 1 second:
    Upstream report and fix: https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?110521

The change allows `xfce.garcon` to rebuild 60 times in a row without failures.

GNU Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce
shell scripts to automatically configure software source code
packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of
UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf
creates a configuration script for a package from a template
file that lists the operating system features that the package
can use, in the form of M4 macro calls.
