if that is the problem, you can submit a patch which re-introduces these macros. It might not be elegant, but if it solves this problem then there are no problems to leave them there, for systems using "configure" they are just a no-op. Providing such a patch helps more than complaining about portability of GNU programs, I think. Giuseppe
