Firstly, automake/autoconf is not `make`, but a different piece of software, and secondly, that you know all those details about it is because it is not black-box-like.

I never said it was. It's a script to generate a script to generate a makefile, more or less.

If it wasn't black box like, why do people keep blindly copying tests which check things which haven't been relevant for decades and in any case would require a ton of manual effort to actually use for something?
