Any opinions? 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.
