Without any tarballs at all. We will only sign the git tag. Putting
unsigned tarballs on a plain file server is not enough today, and we
do not want be required to sign them. Therefore, tarballs need to be
downloaded from github or the user creates them from the git
repository.

Hmm, this seems a bit out-of-scope for the systemd build system. Why
don't you just add the usually used stub lines for things you want to
optimize out:
  echo 'AC_DEFUN([AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT],[:])' > m4/gcrypt.m4
