WDYT of making this unconditional?  Two benefits:

  * if Guix is ported to another new architecture,
    then no changes are necessary to the package definition.

  * 'configure' and 'Makefile.in' are not source code,
    and more difficult to audit for things like malware than
    'configure.ac' and 'Makefile.am'.

Greetings,
Maxime.
