The README applies to the tarball. And if you have the tarball then
libgcrypt actually *is* optional. If you build from git then a ton of
additional deps apply however (among them libgcrypt) and we will *not*
list them all in the README. This pretty much like all other projects
handle this, too.
So, yeah, such m4_ifdeffery makes no sense at all, if you are building
from git you are assumed you have a number of additional deps installed.
