It is kind of funny that GnuPG as most autoconf enabled programs build
fine on so many Unix platform but not on OS X we should be a modern
Unix. 

One of the reasons might be that GnuPG uses a small part of gnulib (gl/)
but does not follow all the gnulib updates to avoid regressions.

This problem seems to cause by the hack below.  We hoped that this would
fix the problems but obviously it didn't on all machines.  You may try
to revert that patch.

For 2.0.1 I'd really like to get access to a decent OS X box to test the
build before releasing it.
