Filed https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?110382 to clarify if it's an intended change in autoconf.

We were seeing the `configure: error: could not determine the string function for int64_t` error when trying to build apr on Ubuntu 22.04.

Applying this patch not only did not make that error go away on Ubuntu 22.04 it caused it to happen on Cent 6, Cent 7, Alma 8, and Ubuntu 20.04.

So there must be another element in play :/

Apologies, there was another element involved, PEBCAK :) It totally fixes it
