The configure correctly detects libbsd and those functions, however, the macro HAVE_LIBBSD is never defined in this process. The compile then fails with "implicit declaration" error, as the libbsd includes are not loaded from replace.h. When defining this macro manually, everything is fine.

Hmm, I see what you mean, but I've not heard of problems from any other Linux
users/distro builders, so perhaps something else is masking it for them?

I'm cc'ing the list to see if those who work on Linux see the problem, or
want to provide a patch that they can test more easily than I can.
