I don't really speak autoconf, but this was indeed the origin of the 
problem. Maybe this case is an argument for not using these internal 
autoconf variables at all, but using the syntax proposed by the docs:

   AC_CHECK_HEADER(mach-o/dyld.h,
     [dyld_api=true],
     [
     AC_CHECK_LIB(dld, shl_load)
     etc...
     ])
