That's a _good_ thing.  We _expect_ that compilation error, to prove
that we are correctly detecting how your compiler detects and rejects
broken source code that refers to a non-existent header (knowing how the
compiler detects missing headers is essential for later tests of
AC_CHECK_HEADERS to see which headers are present).

Not all failed compilations are bugs.
