I'm an absolute NOOB re. autotools...

Ciao,

Install old autoconf macros:

https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/

https://pkgs.org/download/autoconf-archive

I should have a fully up-to-date autotools. It works with
all other things that I needed it for.

It's the first time I use this collection of macros. I discovered it while trying to fix the issue.

In what way should old macros solve the issue, taking into
account that this is not 'old' software ?

What's old are some macros in the collection; using the word "old" was useless. For the specific error you reported, the required macro is ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4. Other macros (from the collection) are probably required (I did not check).

And what means 'installing' those macros - Where should
they go ?

Where autoconf-archive (and the packaging system) wants them to be installed; on my Debian 12 system, they are installed in /usr/share/aclocal/

The collection of collections: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/gnu/autoconf-archive/

Sorry if I seem a bit sceptical... Each time I try to
understand how the autotools are supposed to work I read
things like 'This file contains dirty hacks to make XXX
work' and similar statements. It really escapes me why
such a mess is still supposed to be the 'right way' to
do things...

There's always better ways. :-)
