Thanks for the report.  It looks like you are indeed correct that as
written, the example config.site can end with non-zero status, which can
then cause problems in assuming the site file was invalid.  Would you
like to try your hand at writing the documentation patch to add an
additional ':' at the end of that sample file in the documentation in
autoconf.git?  If not, I can probably write a patch when I get a spare
moment.
