I have a similar scenario with AC_PROG_AWK in my software package.
AC_PROG_YACC is used to determine what you should /call/ yacc; you still
need AC_PATH_PROG to find out if it actually exists.
I have the following code in my configure.ac:
AC_ARG_VAR(AWK_PATH)
AC_PROG_AWK
AC_PATH_PROG(AWK_PATH, $AWK, [*NO AWK*])
if test "$AWK_PATH" = '*NO AWK*'
then
AC_MSG_ERROR([Couldn't find a usable awk!])
fi
(There may be a better way to do this.)
In my case, I need the absolute path because I use it to generate a
shebang line in an awk script.
