Not at all.

HEADER_STDC    -- result not used anywhere (except c.h, which used it wrongly)
arpa/inet.h    -- result not used
float.h        -- result not used everywhere
limits.h    -- result not used everywhere
netdb.h        -- result not used
netinet/in.h    -- result not used
sys/param.h    -- result not used

AC_TYPE_UID_T, AC_TYPE_MODE_T, AC_TYPE_OFF_T, AC_TYPE_SIZE_T
        -- results not recorded at all

AC_FUNC_MEMCMP, AC_TYPE_SIGNAL, AC_FUNC_VPRINTF
        -- ditto

All of this was strictly backend and libpq, and stuff that has existed at
least since 6.5.1.
