The answer's in the autoconf info files.  There it says that acconfig.h
is used by "ancient" versions of autoconf to add things to config.h.in.

The modern way is to use AH_BOTTOM, AH_TOP, AH_TEMPLATE and AH_VERBATIM.
Using AH_BOTTOM([#ifndef HAVE_SOCKLEN_T.....]) in configure.ac does the
same thing that acconfig.h with @BOTTOM at ... used to.

I'm committing the changes now.
