I would say, it's time to make a release. In my understanding
  - It would be good to upgrade to Autoconf 2.71 and Libtool 2.4.7,
    since these releases include a large number of fixes.
  - Then I offer to spend a day or two testing the thing on the
    current set of platforms, with current compilers (from Linux/arm
    over Solaris 11 to Android, with g++ 12 and clang 15, etc.)

"just tell people to build off from git" increases the installation
effort, compared to a release tarball. Distros like Debian also prefer
a release tarball, I think?
