That is a good idea but it seems like getting the config.h
infrastructure set up, sticking this ifdef rats nest in there, and then
having all libapparmor source files automatically #include "config.h" is
the better answer since it future proofs us against making the same
mistake of introducing a new call to secure_getenv(3).

I think I'll go ahead and commit the patch as-is and then we'll do one
of the two approaches above in the short-term.

Thanks for the suggestion!
