configure does!  However, you need to be able to generate it properly.
I thought autoconf should/would bail on missing macros, but in any case,
that's beyond our ability to fix.

Which is wrong, but probably causes your interpreter to simply emit some
error about a missing/undefined function, since the macro call has no
arguments.

Proper bootstrapping is hard, maybe we could extend the bootstrap script
to check these requirements and just refuse to work if missing.
