According to gnulib, AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG is obsolescent (in part because
it uses AC_LIBOBJ in a manner that is not easily extensible by gnulib).
If emacs is using modern gnulib, then it is _not_ using
AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG from autoconf, but rather the more up-to-date
gl_GETLOADAVG from the gnulib module getloadavg.
Either way:

Yes, autoconf's AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG should be updated in this manner, and
that should also be reflected into gnulib's gl_GETLOADAVG. Thanks for
the analysis.
