The test for existence of getutent(3). See the patch concerning
'configure'. The problem is that in OpenBSD the file '<sys/types.h>'
is not invoked automatically in this particular test, unlike
with GNU/Linux. Thus the test fails for OpenBSD of an irrelevant
reason. It will fail anyway since getutent(3) does not exist
in OpenBSD, but looking at the first search hit for 'getutent'
in the log file 'config.log', at present discloses a failure due
to the missing header file, not due to the missing prototype
under investigation. I do not now if other OS-es are touched
by this deteroriation also.
