True, but the advice "perform all tests unconditionally" actually is too
strict.

It actually should be "perform all tests for compilers unconditionally",
i.e. try using AC_PROG_<language> unconditionally, because autoconf
can't handle "using AC_PROG_<language> conditionally".

AFAIS, this exactly is the case being used in this code snippet.
