Question about compiled-in entropy gatherer

This oddity happened with test2:

debug: Got 0.00 bytes of entropy from /usr/bin/who
debug: Got 0.05 bytes of entropy from /usr/bin/last
debug: Got 0.00 bytes of entropy from
debug: Got 0.88 bytes of entropy from /usr/sbin/df
debug: Got 0.00 bytes of entropy from /usr/sbin/df
debug: Got 0.12 bytes of entropy from /usr/bin/vmstat
debug: Got 0.00 bytes of entropy from /usr/bin/uptime

I've narrowed it down to a problem with autoconf (plus ca change,
eh?!) that seems to have #defined lastlog to be "", rather than
leaving it undefined. Nothing untoward seems to have happened due
to this but it probably wants sorting. Can someone more qualified
in autoconf point me in the direction of the solution?

Thanks,
