It uses whatever method you tell it to in your configure.ac

Newer versions of autoconf know about dsym, the 6 year old one that Apple ships doesn't. Update: The new xcode-4.3 does not seem to come with autoconf any more. Xcode-4.2 has autoconf-2.61 from 2006.
I've never seen a problem like that, ant I've used the Xcode-provided autoconf for years to build X11.
