Description
The creation of these files should also be moved before creation of the Makefiles, and abort the configure, so that we do not leave the system in a state that can not be built from.

Research direction
Start by tracing the configure flow that creates fmt_extern.h and fmt_registers.h, then inspect when the Makefiles are generated. The change is done when failures creating either header abort configure before Makefiles are created, leaving no partially configured state that cannot be built.
