This text is also completely under the control of Autoconf, there is no
opportunity to override it. I don't think it's worth trying to
postprocess the configure script just to get some custom label here that
differs from every other Autoconf-based project out there.

  https://gitlab.com/GNU/Autoconf/blob/master/lib/autoconf/general.m4#L1126

It does make sense to review these things and make them consistent where
we can, thank you for doing so, but these labels are hard coded in
Autoconf. You could try getting it changed or making it configurable in
Autoconf.
