Just updated one of my projects to use libtool-2.2.7b and configure
now fails with:

configure: error: conditional "am__fastdepCXX" was never defined.
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.

in configure.ac I was checking for a C++ compiler if a given option
was used, i.e.:

# boinc requires a c++ compiler
if test "${boinc}" = "true" ; then
  AC_PROG_CXX
fi

Always checking for a C++ compiler makes the error go away. Are
conditional checks like this bad?
