Support for AC_CHECK_FUNC and derivative is not optional. VLC needs it, most 
other autoconf-based contrib libraries need it, and AFAIK libav needs it too 
(uses the same approach, albeit not through autoconf). This discussion has 
already been had and settled years ago.

If you can't make it work then the only acceptable option is to remove the 
test and assume the function is supported.
