I guess after having built on debian and cygwin, I developed a strategy
of grepping source files for missing symbols and trying to find out
if there was a way it could be included- this usually points to flags
in build scripts etc. I don't have an answer for you but if you
want to get familiar with the code this is a great learning experience :)
Usually you could identify the #ifdef that killed a member definition
and rummage around build settings to get it in there.
 
Obviously if you can't find a def anywhere, that would be a bit of a deadend
but with problems I had that didn't come up much. 
 
Something to consider until someone answers with specific fix.
