AC_HEADER_STDC causes a compile failure with autoconf 2.70

From https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-autoconf@gnu.org/msg04408.html

The implication is that the test does nothing anyway, and due to it
being a no-op from 2.70 onwards, results in the required not being set
to yes, resulting in ./configure to fail.
