Yes to all the questions.  The version was almost certainly V2 beta 3 with
a small chance that it was beta 2.  I didn't mount beta 4 or 5 but went 
directly to V2.0.  I'll look more carefully at the error messages with
the -D_POSIX_SOURCE set.  This setting will bypass the bulk of 
<sys/config.h>!  There may be some flags within that block of code which
should be moved outside.  Regards, Frank
