I'd assume it's standard (if not, I'll have to check closer on your system).

we have 2.5.1 at work -- it's mostly a matter of my finding time to focus
on that particular problem. I've been working all day (on vacation ;-) to
fix a problem with autoconf (that affects ncurses & vile), but did set up a
build to test the 'install' script on one of the boxes at work. Will check
on that later, since I've promised some lynx-related work.
