Your patch works fine with AIX - thanks!

The reason I wondered about the symbol names is because if configure
can't find a lastlog file anywhere, it sets DISABLE_LASTLOG.  It may be
nice in this default case to search wtmp, since presumably the OS
doesn't have a real lastlog facility.  --disable-lastlog could still be
used to override this.

Perhaps something like this? (untested):
