No, something's wrong there - that change is not relevant - or at least
shouldn't be.

If you:
wget http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-server/v2.1.1/rabbitmq-server-2.1.1.tar.gz
tar xzf rabbitmq-server-2.1.1.tar.gz
cd rabbitmq-server-2.1.1
make

it does just work. At least for me.

If you're building from our hg or git mirrors, then that's something
very different, and generally building from the latest head of default
is the right thing to do.
