Something like this? It should be up near the top (in "Installation
Changes" or a separate section):
"We plan to discontinue support for some older systems in Emacs 23.1.
These systems are still supported in Emacs 22.2, but configure will
not complete without manual intervention. If you encounter one of
these systems, and believe it should continue to be supported, please
make your voice known at emacs-devel@gnu.org."
