Of course, since it spits out pages and pages of normally-useless trivia,
we've all become conditioned to ignore configure's output as long as it
doesn't actually fail :-(

Not sure what to do about that --- I doubt that raising this warning to
error would be a good idea, seeing how firmly the upstream developers
believe it shouldn't even be a warning.  Is there any sort of "quiet
mode" possible that would report only warnings?  Would it be a good idea
if it were possible?
