   @psykose @nabijaczleweli @hipsterelectron Debugging a ~200 lines readable shell script vs. debugging a monstrous of m4 macros that never got cleaned up?
   And it's not rare for autotools stuff to fail regenerating.

     @hipsterelectron @lanodan @nabijaczleweli aside from that you should ignore this ""just use a simple shell script lol"" advice, classic trap projects fall into of "autotools is bad, let's use something else" -> "writing your own compile test wrapper in sh with your own helper functions" (somehow better???), the musl configure script being mentioned adjacent to this and the word "simple" is pretty funny imo
