It already is deprecated, as of autoconf 2.62; the NEWS file already mentions this. And there were already a lot of bug reports about this deprecation that were addressed as part of autoconf 2.63, but the fact remains that using AC_GNU_SOURCE is no longer recommended in new configure.ac. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
