Yes, I see.  I don't know how that file came to be used in bsqldb.c.  It's not needed: I switched it to use sybfront.h, and it still compiles fine.  Sorry it misled you.

Looks like our configure.ac needs to be updated:

http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Present-But-Cannot-Be-Compiled.html

The AC_CHECK_HEADERS macro has been improved, and by using the new version, we would catch certain kinds of problems at configure time instead of at build time.  The warning shouldn't interfere with your compilation, though.  

I'm in the process of updating the machine that builds the distribution tarballs.  The new autotools are:

$ tools
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.65
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6b

Previously we were running autoconf 2.59, and likely as not the macro we're using was written for a still older version.
