Well afaik we don't intend to support building for anything older. But I 
changed that part when I fixed this later this morning.

Yes, that was what I thought initially as well (which makes the referenced 
commit e807c8e91 look even stranger). But the reason for that commit was 
that the previous block of ifdefs, added via AH_TOP, weren't taken into 
account when running other tests in configure, which was e807c8e91 added. 
But I changed it all to a preprocessor check in configure, and only then 
adding it via AC_DEFINE.
