Description

There should be a `@rules_foreign_cc//toolchains:autoreconf_toolchain`, rather than call autoreconf from `PATH`.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing autoconf toolchain and the rules that invoke autoreconf. Trace how the @rules_foreign_cc//toolchains:autoreconf_toolchain target would be registered and selected. Done means autoreconf is obtained through the toolchain rather than PATH, with the relevant toolchain coverage verified.
