Bad is also the fact that you have to handcode the rules.
E.g., what point is there in handcrafting rules for, say, "nanosleep"?
nanosleep lives in different libraries on different systems so there
needs to be a standard rule library so you can say something like:
AC_CONFIG_FUNCTION("nanosleep")
and the tool would just load the appropriate set of rules for
nanosleep.
