Me too :(

Assuming that you are building from the tip of the topic/libposix branch,
I notice that since I wrote those instructions (./bootstrap; ./configure...),
Bruce has committed a few scripts to facilitate his preferred method of
building the tree instead.

Give me a few hours to untangle what's going on, and I'll commit some fixes
to the branch so that the normal build method works again.

Or if you're in a rush, you back-up your checkout to the last commit I made,
which I tested with the bootstrap instructions on the list, so that should
work as expected (modulo patches Bruce committed subsequently of course).
