From my Pd-extended point of view, not finding s_stuff.h is an error, and the build should stop.
i understand this pov if you have your PdX hat on, but obviously it is inacceptable for Gem in general.
Here's my fix:

excuse me, but this fix is utterly..., well, i cannot find a word for it. i hope that i have fixed the configure script last night, but with workarounds and hacks like forcing HAVE_STUFF_H, we will never now whether the upstream build-system really fixes the problem.
please don't go for immediate satisfaction at the cost of long term fixes.
I think you're missing the point a bit. My fix was a better long term fix for the problem I was trying to solve: making a missing s_stuff.h stop the Pd-extended build with an error. For Pd-extended, I am not interested in what ./configure finds, I want to build using a given configuration, and it should fail when there is something missing, not configure around it. Same goes for making a Debian (or whatever) package.
I suppose its possible to do something similar in Gem's build system, but its really far too complex for mere mortals to understand.
