--- Comment #15 from Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith at oracle.com> ---
autotools expects a user who is cross-compiling for a target platform other
than the one they are building on to provide all necessary settings like this,
and strongly discourages adding a bunch of platform specific special cases.

How would we handle this in configure.ac other than hardcoding a check for
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET and having a bunch of non-mac users have to maintain
a list of which Mac versions do and do not support this function instead of
relying on the autotools check?

(Hint: a proposed patch is a lot more understandable than 100 lines of
arguing.)
