How to Add Prefix to all macros in config.h by Autotool

How can I add a prefix to all macros defined in config.h by Autotool? For example, I want #define MYNAMESPACE_HAVE_STRING_H 1 instead of #define HAVE_STRING_H 1. I have found a post saying that AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H can help but my system doesn't support this macro...

AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([include/config.h])

AX_* macros come from Autoconf Archive, in particular the one you're referring to is described in http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_prefix_config_h.html.

That is probably the best way to achieve it, just copy the latest m4 file for that macro in your project and let it be found by autoreconf. You can refer to my write-up in Autotools Mythbuster for further details on using external macro files.
