This was fixed by commit 8fb130b44c "Also warn about missing prerequisites as we encounter them (bug #24445)" in Oct. 2008 (prior to releasing 0.6.1).

Suppose that AC_CHECK_SIZEOF fails. If this happens, it does an unconditional exit from the configure script, and any missing prerequisites up to that point (e.g. a missing GSL), which may well be the underlying problem, will not be reported to the user.

Probably we should print out problems as we encounter them, as well as summarizing at the end of the run.
