Yes and no. :-)

Apparently, only the output of configure differs, the build processes
are identical, the resulting builds look similar (same filesize, binary
differences), and neither of them have a direct or indirect libxcb
dependency. Perhaps configure is just fooling me.

configure output diff appended.

(Diffing config.log is sort of pointless, and I'm too lazy to figure
out a "diff -X" filter or a perl term to make them comparable. Only one
of them contains "libxcb=no" though.)
