It looks more like something went wrong with configuring or building
the security key support. Did you use a separate or clean tree for the
8.9 build? If not, then please try this first.

If that doesn't work, then please post a bug report at bugzilla.mindrot.org
and attach a full configure + compile log (oh, and mention what system
you're using)
