I'm not sure how AC_CONFIG_HEADERS has anything to do with the problem you're
describing in the bug. It seems that, in your case, you need to change this
check in lib/stubs/Makefile.am to not ignore Linux:

if !LINUX
   libStubsCS_la_SOURCES += stub-msgfmt-fbsd.c
endif

The source code in open-vm-tools is shared with lots of other VMware products.
Our team doesn't own a lot of that code, and autoconf is not generally used to
build our products. So the checks in the code are not generally based on
autoconf-style variables.
