No, it was a typo in the configure scripts. I checked in a fix for both the head and release23-maint branches yesterday. Red Hat 8.0 does have fsync:

FSYNC(2)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                  FSYNC(2)

NAME
       fsync,  fdatasync  -  synchronize  a file's complete in-core state with
       that on disk
...

That is from an 8.0 system.
