I can confirm the same problem on Cygwin.  I reran configure from scratch
and found the following strange log entries:

  checking for ut_host field in utmp.h... no
  checking for ut_host field in utmpx.h... no
  checking for syslen field in utmpx.h... no
  checking for ut_pid field in utmp.h... no
  checking for ut_type field in utmp.h... no
  checking for ut_type field in utmpx.h... no
  checking for ut_tv field in utmp.h... no
  checking for ut_id field in utmp.h... no
  checking for ut_id field in utmpx.h... no
  checking for ut_addr field in utmp.h... no
  checking for ut_addr field in utmpx.h... no
  checking for ut_addr_v6 field in utmp.h... no
  checking for ut_addr_v6 field in utmpx.h... no
  checking for ut_exit field in utmp.h... no
  checking for ut_time field in utmp.h... no
  checking for ut_time field in utmpx.h... no
  checking for ut_tv field in utmpx.h... no

Nearly all of these fields are actually present in the affected
structures utmp and utmpx.  This looks like a bug in the
OSSH_CHECK_HEADER_FOR_FIELD routine to me.  The problem was not
present in the 4.2p1 configury.

However, this is just a heads up.  I have no patch so far.
