[Maria-developers] Old autotools cruft in source tree?

Used. jemalloc and xz-utils are third-party projects included into MariaDB source tree. Both use autotools. In Debian builds bundled jemalloc is not used - we use system jemalloc, as far as I remember (please, double-check). But tokudb always uses bundled xz-utils, because it requires specifically xz-4.999.9beta. Anyway, tokudb doesn't build on ARM64, so it doesn't matter whether old config.guess supports it or not.
