I assume you mean at compile time, regarding autoconf macros ?

This probably doesn't apply to PGDG, but as I recall at least within debian,
there's a preference to build either --with-... or --without-.., so that a
library which happens to be installed doesn't create a package with an
unintentional dependency, or a library which is not installed or something
broken/incompatible doesn't result in a package without the intended
dependency.
