I wouldn't say so. The problem is that if macro BAR contains AC_REQUIRE([FOO]), then FOO is expanded inside the `if' and may escape execution. It's hard to tell whether a macro calls AC_REQUIRE. (It can call it indirectly.) A real fix will be to use shell functions to reimplement AC_REUIRE, in autoconf-3.
