Cancel. We can't use AX_GCC_BUILTIN in production. Using
AX_GCC_BUILTIN produces broken configure's:

checking for getpagesize... yes
checking for working mmap... yes
checking for gettimeofday... yes
./configure: line 15023: syntax error near unexpected token `__builtin_offsetof'
./configure: line 15023: `AX_GCC_BUILTIN(__builtin_offsetof)'
