Yes.  It is because the function you are trying to check for uses the 
__stdcall convention, and you can't resolve links to such functions, 
without including the proper headers, so the compiler knows that.  
AC_CHECK_LIB or AC_SEARCH_LIBS are only useful for functions which 
use the __cdecl calling convention.
