Okay, looks like this is a bug in the autoconf configuration. I got it
to build by commenting out lots of dotlock stuff in the Makefile and
manually commenting out the USE_DOTLOCK definition in config.h;
configure didn't prevent this, it only is able to force the enabling of
dotlock even though it's done by default.
