OK. We'd better upgrade to the newer version of obstack I guess.

This will require modifying configure.ac as well, since currently
the only field we are checking for in utmpx is ut_tv, i.e. in your
case HAVE_STRUCT_UTMPX_UT_ID et al. will never be defined.

The error:

> utmp_init.c: In function `utmp_init':
> utmp_init.c:72: structure has no member named `ut_tv'
> *** Error code 1

indicates that the configure test have found the ut_tv member in the
utmpx structure (and thus defined HAVE_STRUCT_UTMPX_UT_TV), but somehow
the member is not visible in the scope of utmp_init. This could be
due to either configure malfunction, or (more probably) the improper
inclusion of utmp.h in the lines 31-36 of utmp_init.c. The contents
of your config.h and config.log might help in solving this. Could
you please send them over?
