My opinion as a non-expert in the subject of preparation of
`configure' script is that it should check for any fundamental command
required for building.

Developers may forget those very basic packages/software as they
rarely develop from a plain system. The discovery came about because I
have been installing Parabola GNU/Linux-libre and did not know what is
the main virtual package to install all the other building tools
packages, so I was installing one by one whatever was missing, like
`automake' or `gcc' or similar packages until the point that I could
compile it.
