What I'm thinking is that perhaps there is a needed blob for using
stdlib?  I haven't been able to find any such thing, however, with a
cursory bit of googling.  I'm thinking that it is most likely as you say
an autoconf problem.  Who wants to file a bug report?  I don't mind
doing so myself, but I suspect that it is best done by one of our
developers.
