Yes it probably is wrong, but I don't see the point of the test if
c-subword-mode is a function.

If I load a C file, I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable c-subword-mode)
  c-update-modeline()
  c-basic-common-init(c-mode ((java-mode . "java") (awk-mode . "awk") (other . 
"gnu")))
  c-common-init(c-mode)
  c-mode()
  set-auto-mode-0(c-mode nil)
  set-auto-mode()
  normal-mode(t)
  after-find-file(nil t)
  find-file-noselect-1(#<buffer myprog.c> "~/myprog.c" nil nil "~/myprog.c" 
(458851 773))
  find-file-noselect("~/myprog.c" nil nil t)
  find-file("~/myprog.c" t)
  call-interactively(find-file)

It's probably due to my build.  If I load cc-mode first, I don't get the error.
