No, configure is not machine-dependent.
Configure is not machine-dependent but some developers may claim it to
be so if not all developers on a project are using the same autotools
versions. This can result in large configure script patches being
submitted to the versioning system based on otherwise tiny changes.
Due to this, many projects do not check the configure script into
their versioning system. The Makefile.in files have a similar issue.
