[issue8747] Autoconf tests in python not portably correct

[Garrett Cooper]

The issue is still present.

The overall problem I suppose is with consistency and presentation of features in the python language.

Many features cannot be presented in a 100% portable manner, and the problem is that such features that aren't POSIX conforming should be 100% spelled out instead of being implied functional on all Unix based platforms.

So, again... if these platforms can't function with these preprocessor defines, the platforms need to be fixed -- not python.
