OK, in that case I'd believe it's a critical issue.

I think the conflicting-declarations trick I mentioned earlier will let
us build a more reliable configure test for this, but as I said I don't
want to risk shoving it into 7.0.* --- this is the sort of thing that
you can't trust until it's been through some beta testing on a variety
of platforms.  We'll put it in 7.1 and see what happens.  In the
meantime you'll have to patch config.h by hand...
