Well, I definitely don't wish to clutter our core code with any
explicit dependencies on MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. However,
if we can work around the issue by switching from AC_REPLACE_FUNCS
to AC_CHECK_DECLS, maybe we should just do that and quit arguing
about it. It seems like there's not a lot of enthusiasm for my idea
about installing a run-time probe, so I won't push for that.

Yeah, we can expect that the issue will arise again, which is why
I was so unhappy with the rather-invasive patches we started with.
