As root? The code is good, but still :-)

This is interesting. I've been building it on FreeBSD from 4.2 up to
4.6 and never got it to compile with make, I always had to run
gmake. I also found that autoconf would not process the files
correctly.
If it builds from cvs source this easily, I guess it's time to move to
4.7.
