It's not at all. Nor is libtool.

I occasionally had issues in ./configure, too.

You'll say that's "yeah, it's all about auto-crap". No.

It's *very* most probably about bash, simply.

(and while the gcc page makes sense (all very complex software have
a lot of bugs, so compilers have, but the message has to be terribly
moderated, considering the huge amount of tests that gcc receives), the
auto-hell page doesn't: nowhere was it ever suggested that it's normal
for software to run several ./configure instances).

So, yes, it was essentially off-topic.
