The problem on SCO (Open Server 3, aka. 3.2v4.2) is the sed scripts
produced by autoconf make sed choke.
The configure script worked fine on SCO Open Server 5

.....
checking if your system defines WTMPX_FILE... no
configure: creating ./config.status
sed: command garbled: s,^[ 	]*#[ 	]*define[ 	][ 	]*\(\([^ 	(][^ 	(]*\)([^)]*)\)[ 	]*\(.*\)$,${ac_dA}\2${ac_dB}\1${ac_dC}\3${ac_dD},gp

If the autoconf testsuite.log is of any interest,
I can e-mail it to you or grab it from
ftp://ftp.multitalents.net/pub/testsuite.log
