Thanks for effort, but upstream seems very convinced of doing nothing wrong (and
not ready to investigate further)...., despite using autoconf-2.69 (from 2012,
see lighttpd-1.4.61/configure) and:

The whole c99 check vanished...., and:

But there is although support for the meson build system in the sources...,
maybe time to change to it?
