Definition templates are output into the config.h template by autoheader,
then configure decides which templates to enable vs. disable.

That is a correct assumption - if the AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED is never
executed, the config.h portion will remain undefined.

If the code is never executed, that is to be expected.  Or maybe I'm
misunderstanding the real question you are trying to ask.
