It is, and HAVE_GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_DIALOG_NEW is defined.  However,
HAVE_GTK_FILE_BOTH and HAVE_GTK_FILE_SELECTION_NEW are also defined
which might explain the problem.

I built with 

,----
| make distclean
| CFLAGS=-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -g -O2 ./configure
| make -k
`----

and ran into

,----
| gtkutil.c: In function 'xg_get_file_name_from_selector':
| gtkutil.c:1479: error: 'GtkFileSelection' undeclared (first use in this function)
| gtkutil.c:1479: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
| gtkutil.c:1479: error: for each function it appears in.)
