Yes, but it's occurred to me that I'm not using the latest version of 
the Debian spandsp-dev package.

However, at the same time, I'm not exactly compiling the latest version 
of Asterisk 11 either. Is it that big of a deal, or should I try to pin 
the package from the next version of Debian?

The change that started using the define was made on Dec 28, 2011 to
improve V.21
preamble detection.  (Git change fdda4947767a5c0ee2424532ff5f01250797175d )
The spandsp version that compiles on my system is 0.0.6~pre12-1
Maybe you have remnants of an older version of spandsp still installed.

Okay, I've gotten it compiled. The problem was that Debian's version of 
libspandsp-dev wasn't the right one. I downloaded and installed the 
latest version found on spandsp's website, and the compile went through 
without any issue.
