These macros should be replaced with the current AC_FOO_IFELSE macros instead.
It is fairly safe to upgrade and take the recommendation advice of autoconf upgrade manual since the upgrade should be compatible at least with PHP versions 5.4 and up, on some systems even with PHP 5.3. PHP versions from 5.4 to 7.1 require Autoconf 2.59+ and PHP 7.2+ require Autoconf 2.64+.
