 github]:

 [https://github.com/torproject/tor/blob/943291d7ae3d246c50fa55caa96c9bb04ee577eb/configure.ac#L833
 autoconf tests]? It was quite annoying to wait for a long time for the

 [https://github.com/torproject/tor/blob/943291d7ae3d246c50fa55caa96c9bb04ee577eb/configure.ac#L818
 TOR_SEARCH_LIBRARY] to reject non-compliant combinations right away and
