Re: FYI: Adjust circular dependencies

Seems a good idea for the test suite.

In fact, there is now plenty of `useless' initializations in
Autoconf.  At least, I'm trying to make them useless.  For instance,
some day, I'd like to get rid of ${CC-cc} everywhere, and use only
$CC.  If it fails, then perfect: we found a missing
AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.  Likewise for other variables.

Perfect with me.  Waiting for a second approval.
