I didn't notice this problem. Are you sure it's still there?

Really? My mc configured with --prefix=/usr doesn't agree with that and 
subshell works.

$ mc --version
GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.1
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish
With builtin Editor
Using included S-Lang library with terminfo database
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations
With mouse support on xterm
With support for X11 events
With internationalization support
