It's easy enough to do a "git restore" on them, but should they should actually be checked in? I thought they were supplied by the autotools? > > This issue has been discussed earlier (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-05/msg00130.html), but without conclusion. There was a conclusion, from my POV: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-05/msg00187.html To make it more clear, this is an Autoconf misfeature, and if someone wants to report a bug, it should be reported to the Autoconf developers; we here have nothing we can do about this kind of "progress".
