This is not a matter of taste nor of personal preference. 

It's a mere technical requirement implied by autoconf's and a compiler's working
principles (cf. info autoconf, search the autoconf mailing lists archive).

Or to put it in short: This package is unusable.

Sorry, but I am not making up packaging policies here nor am I accusing the
packager. 

It's simply a case of "this package's sources are broken and need to be reworked
to be functional".
