Hi,

I'm not sure if you're trolling of if you just didn't
understand but the whole point is precisely that
configure is forcefully run again (or for the first time)
for contribs and so will have a different build setup when
not launched by the build script and fail at symbol
availability detection.

The fact that you don't need it on linux is completely
unrelated since darwin is not linux, and the fact there is
no ac_cv variable in contrib is directly derived from this
fact and leading to the issue this patch tries to fix.

Anyway, you still didn't clarify any issue.
