Description Sam James 2025-11-11 23:41:30 UTC 
With GCC trunk (see r16-5128-g5b276d38c2fdd7), -Wno-alloc-size-larger-than=XYZ is rejected, as it doesn't make sense, and I get a build failure for Valgrind trunk:
```
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-Wno-alloc-size-larger-than=18446744073709551615’
make[5]: *** [Makefile:3519: accounting-accounting.o] Error 1

    configure: hard code -Wno-alloc-size-larger-than=2147483647

    Should be OK for both 32bit and 64bit.
    Remove AC_GCC_WARNING_SUBST_NO_VAL - always need to set a value.
