make fails with the following error:

"reentrancy.c", line 106: prototype mismatch: 2 args passed, 3 expected
cc: acomp failed for reentrancy.c
*** Error code 1

The bug is in the test program in the configure script.
Because the `entry' array is not initialized to zeroes
the readdir_r call causes a core dump.  A quick fix is
to make it a global variable.  Here's a patch:

*** Oconfigure  Sun Oct 15 06:47:10 2000
--- configure   Sun Oct 29 12:23:04 2000
***************
*** 6879,6888 ****
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <dirent.h>
  
  main() {
        DIR *dir;
!       char entry[sizeof(struct dirent)+257];
!       struct dirent *pentry = (struct dirent *) &entry;
  
        dir = opendir("/");
        if (!dir) 
--- 6879,6888 ----
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <dirent.h>
  
+ char entry[sizeof(struct dirent)+257];
  main() {
        DIR *dir;
!       struct dirent *pentry;
  
        dir = opendir("/");
        if (!dir)
