No -- that's not the problem.
The problem is that AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS (and therefore the top-level
configure.ac) will immediately abort if any of the sub-configures return
anything other than a status of 0. So there's no possibility of the
top-level configure.ac checking to see if the sub-configure succeeded or
not -- if the sub-configure fails, everything aborts.
