Well, shame you reported it today, rather than a few days before the
release. I added code which should have detected whether your system
uses 4 or 5 args to getpwuid_r, but obviously it didn't work in your
case.
I need to see your config.log's references to getpwuid_r to find the
cause of the failure.
