Is autotools the first to break or the first that you notice and fix ;)

It is a very good predictor of breakage anywhere. Code where the autotools are perfectly configured normally is very close to correct.

It's usually not broken on my own code because I will write a DAG builder in bare C before I use them personally, so I don't know the breakage timing.
