I guess I misunderstood what is suggested to be checked in configure.ac
 From the two options below I meant the second.

Checking that backtrace or backtrace_symbols are available during compile time 
should be done in configure.ac.

Checking /usr/bin/gstack existence should not be done at compile time and not in 
configure.ac, but at run-time in the code itself.
