actually, in some of these cases, its just a mis-organization of
include/header files...the UTMP/WTMP problems are all fixed in
config.h.in, just not in the respective .c files ...

this one is work that Damien did to get around problems where an OS
doesn't define __progname, but missed a few occurances further in the C
files...basically, delete line 187 and you'll be fine...
