Now I get this:

    compile  binstall/getid.lo
/tank/vol-fourquid-1/olafs/netbsd-git/cvs/src/tools/binstall/../../usr.bin/xinstall/xinstall.c:
 In function 'main':
/tank/vol-fourquid-1/olafs/netbsd-git/cvs/src/tools/binstall/../../usr.bin/xinstall/xinstall.c:315:
 warning: passing argument 2 of '__nbcompat_gid_from_group' from incompatible 
pointer type
/tank/vol-fourquid-1/olafs/netbsd-git/cvs/src/tools/binstall/../../usr.bin/xinstall/xinstall.c:320:
 warning: passing argument 2 of '__nbcompat_uid_from_user' from incompatible 
pointer type

Argument 2 is the id_t * argument. I suspect this is because a bit below
the #defines of the compat functions, there are still the individual
function declarations:

#if !HAVE_DECL_GID_FROM_GROUP
int gid_from_group(const char *, gid_t *);
#endif

and HAVE_DECL_GID_FROM_GROUP seems unset since configure tells me

checking for group_from_gid... yes
checking for gid_from_group... no
...
checking for pwcache_userdb... no
checking for pwcache_groupdb... no
...
checking for user_from_uid... yes
checking for uid_from_user... no
...
checking whether user_from_uid is declared... yes
checking whether uid_from_user is declared... no
checking whether pwcache_userdb is declared... no
checking whether group_from_gid is declared... yes
checking whether gid_from_group is declared... no
checking whether pwcache_groupdb is declared... no

Now I notice a discrepancy: the argument used in the prototypes are
gid_t and uid_t, while in the call they're both id_t. Apparently those
are not the same.

Line 91 of src/usr.bin/xinstall/xinstall.c:

id_t    uid = -1, gid = -1;

and configure:

checking for id_t... yes

it's a bit of a swamp....
