>Description:
You can find error log at:

http://pkgsrc.w.lub.pl/fam-linux/fam-error.log

Unpatched configure runs okay:

>How-To-Repeat:
Obvious
>Fix:
To get it to work:

bmake clean
mv patches/patch-ax .
bmake patch

-> edit ${WRKSRC}/config.h.in and add "#define HAVE_MNTENT_H 1", remove "#undef HAVE_MNTENT_H"

-> edit ${WRKSRC}/fam/mntent.h and change #include <mntent.h> to #include </usr/include/mntent.h> (to avoid include-file recursion on gcc 3.3)

I think, that the author of the original patches could re-think a bit 
the strategy. I'm not touching them, they already seem complicated. 
configure could test if mntent.h is available as detected
by original unpatched version, then it should "fall" to BSD-accepted 
settings.
