The missing #include <gshadow.h> causes the configure check to fail
spuriously, resulting in HAVE_SHADOWGRP not being defined even
on systems that actually have sgetsgent (such as current glibc).
Version 1.19.1 was released in June 2014.

This used to be 16 for historical reasons but these days basically every
distro configures --with-group-name-max-length=32 to make it match the
max Linux username length, make it default.

C89 and POSIX.1-2001 define signal(2) as returning a pointer to a
function returning 'void'. K&R C signal(2) signature is obsolete.
Use 'void' directly.
Also, instead of writing the function pointer type explicitly, use
POSIX's 'sighandler_t'.

As autoconf documentation says, this macro is obsolescent, as no
current systems have the bug in S_ISDIR, S_ISREG, etc..
The affected systems were Tektronix UTekV, Amdahl UTS, and
Motorola System V/88.

INTERACTIVE Systems Corporation Unix is no longer sold, and Sun
said (long ago) that it would drop support for it on 2006-07-23.
So this macro has been obsolete for more than a decade.

The macro HAVE_RUSEROK is not being used anywhere.
As the Linux manual page says, ruserok(3) is present on the BDSs, Solaris, and many other systems. This function appeared in 4.2BSD. So we probably can rely on its existence.

The macro HAVE_GETADDRINFO is not being used anywhere.
BTW, the function is defined by POSIX.1-2001 and RFC 2553, so it's likely that it is always available.

The macro HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY is not being used anywhere.
BTW, the function is defined by SVr4, 4.3BSD, and POSIX.1-2001, so
it's likely that it is always available.
POSIX.1-2008 marks it as obsolete, but only because
clock_gettime(2) provides more precission. Since gettimeofday(3)
is in use by many big projects, and it has no obvious dangers,
it's likely that it will continue to exist even if it's outside of
the POSIX standard.

The only place where the check was used was removed in 4e1afcd66.
BTW, it was unnecessary, since strchr(3) is defined by:

GNU autoconf documentation marks this macro as obsolescent, as
current systems are compatible with POSIX.
Simplify code to unconditionally include <sys/wait.h>, and don't
redefine WIFEXITSTATUS() and WIFEXITED(), since they are mandated
by POSIX.

POSIX.1-2001 defines 'struct dirent' in <dirent.h>. It replaces
the old 'struct direct' found in BSDs. All of the systems that I
checked (including FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD), now provide
<dirent.h> with 'struct dirent', as mandated by POSIX.
Since autoconf first checks <dirent.h> and only if it's missing it
checks other header files, it's clear that it will always find
<dirent.h>, so let's simplify.
GNU autoconf documentation declares this macro as obsolescent, and
acknowledges that all current systems with directory libraries
have <dirent.h>:

Compilers are allowed to and do optimize memset(3) calls away for
pointers not accessed in the future. Since the memzero wrappers purpose
is exactly to unconditionally override memory (e.g. for stored
passwords) do not implement via regular memset(3), but via either
memset_s(3), explicit_bzero(3) or a hand written implementation using
volatile pointers.
