Hell no. You're breaking the configure again with this crap. I already reverted the idiocy once, don't even think about doing this shit again. PHP configure works properly only with autoconf-2.13 which was the last working autoconf.
Which autoconf was the last "working" one is a matter of opinion at this point. The Autoconf people would love for us to stop using 2.13 - the only reason it still exists is because we use it. (Or so I'm told, anyway, I don't know this for a fact firsthand.) Personally, I'd rather see PHP go to CMake. CMake does have its own host of problems, but they could be dealt with. And yes, I would volunteer to revive the CMake effort.
strong +1 from me would be glad to help
Strong -1000 from me, there's nothing wrong with autoconf. --Jani
