That is again self-contradictory.

There are thousands of feature checks in VLC and contribs. Besides
autoconf checks, there are many opportunities for binary incompatibility
across run-time versions. Anyone in his/her right mine builds for the
oldest supported run-time. Any other method is a troubleshooting and
maintenance nightmare that I refuse to aim the build system at.

And even ignoring this high level problem, adding a declaration cannot
possibly address a missing definition.
