This was my mistake.  The messages in user.log were from my logger script.  No
messages from /dev/klog are copied to any log files by syslogd.

So far I notice that pathdefs.make is generated with what appears to be a
correct reference to PATH_KLOG but paths.defs has no reference to PATH_KLOG.

$ cd inetutils-obj
$ grep -i klog ../inetutils/paths pathdefs.make paths.defs
inetutils/paths:PATH_KLOG  <syslog.h> /dev/klog /no
pathdefs.make:PATHDEF_KLOG = -DPATH_KLOG=\"/dev/klog\"
$

I also notice that config.log has

inetutils_cv_PATH_KLOG=/dev/klog

while IU_CONFIG_PATH wants

inetutils_cv_hrd_sym_PATH_KLOG=/dev/klog

when generating paths.defs
