Thanks for your help, Karel. I already tried removing those lines from the configure.ac. It appears not to change the behavior -- the script still ends with: configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH This is why I began to think that autoconf just has the idea that it will use a C compiler hardwired into it. (I also applied Pekka Pessi's patch to test compiling C code with ghc, although that patch still doesn't come into play since the configure scripts doesn't get that far.)
