I've been systematically fixing the drivers that use AC_CHECK_FILE so
now as far as I know we're left with just one (-mga), for which my
patch has been submitted upstream.

I'd prefer to see the patch retained and upstream fixed instead of
working around the breakage, because the test that configure.ac is
attempting to do is valid, it's just done wrong.

Sadly when using libtool you can't "opt-out" of installing .la files
unless you delete the files that just got installed.  In my opinion
this is something that needs to be done globally instead of
per-recipe.
