I should have mentioned another hack.  As the fnmatch replacement doesn't
use the mbstate_t stub definition, you can redefine AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T,
so that it doesn't call the unfortunate AC_DEFINE(mbstate_t, ...).

You could place this to the top of your configure.ac:

AC_DEFUN([AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T],
[AC_CHECK_TYPES(mbstate_t, , ,
                [AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT
#                include <wchar.h>])
])

Completely untested, write me if it doesn't work when you take it out
from your safe place.

Have a nice day,
        Stepan
