That's definitely a bug. And one of the worst kinds of bugs when using
autotools.

If the configure script dumps a broken Makefile on the user, then the
user can end up quite frustrated and with no information on how to fix
the problem.

If there's some missing dependency, then the configure script really
needs to stop and kindly explain to the user how to fix the problem.

If there isn't any missing dependency here, then the configure script
just needs to be fixed somehow.
