That surprises me actually. IMO autoswc is fundamentally not sound and
quite likely to introduce subtile problems. It can only ever work for a
carefully curated set of configure.ac files. Just to name a simple
example: language selection flags like -std=gnu11 vs -std=c89 affect the
results of various header checks.
