Does "./configure" even succeed if it doesn't find a C compiler? In
examples, even if the configure.in contains no "this project uses C,
find a compiler" (that I see), the configure has the C compiler
detection.

Example:

AC_PREREQ(2.52)

AC_INIT(uf-view, 2.2, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=uf-view)
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(uf-view.c)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(AC_PACKAGE_NAME, AC_PACKAGE_VERSION)
AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)

AC_DEFINE(GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "AC_PACKAGE_NAME", [foo])
GETTEXT_PACKAGE=AC_PACKAGE_NAME
AC_SUBST(GETTEXT_PACKAGE)

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(UF, gtk+-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0 gnome-vfs-2.0 gnome-desktop-2.0)
AC_SUBST(UF_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(UF_LIBS)

AC_DEFINE(PACKAGE, AC_PACKAGE_NAME)
AC_DEFINE(VERSION, AC_PACKAGE_VERSION)

ALL_LINGUAS="az cs de fr no pl pt_BR ru sk sv vi wa"
AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT

AC_OUTPUT([
