Mike McQuaid discovered that this patch was actually incorrect. 
AC_CHECK_DECLS behaves differently from every other such macro. So my 
change did actually break the build on OS X. I committed his fix 
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/commit/?id=88004d6>, and attached 
is my fix for the original sigpipe-related guard.
