The latest version of the patch does not have a configure-time option. You
must be either looking at a patch from one of the early emails, or at a
patch on the bug tracker (which was never updated after the discussion
moved to the mailing list).

Just to ensure that you push the right thing, i'm attaching the patches again.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Make gdb JIT-capable (MS-Windows)

Adds the signal-event command (MS-Windows-only) that signals
an event with user-provided ID. Used to resume crashing
process when attached to it via MS-Windows JIT debugging (AeDebug).
