GNU Make macros can't really replace "configure".
They can replace "automake". I've never understood why anyone thought automake was useful / sane. Going back 20 years, a few carefully written GNU Make rules were (a) simple, (b) understandable, and (c) portable.
Automake was more work for me than just writing GNU Make rules.
