+1!

For anyone listening in, if you run into any issues, you may need a clean build or a reconfigure.

Also in case anyone is not familiar with the bigger picture here, this down the line will enable us to eliminate autoconf as a dependency for building swift since libdispatch is the only part of swift now that depends on autoconf.
