Screen under SFU 3.5 (Interix)

Hey, 

Being stuck on a windows box at work, i'd really like to get screen to
work under Interix (microsoft's unix layer, which should be more
performant than sluggish cygwin). 

So trying to compile screen under interix, gives me problems since
interix only supports utmpx.h, and screen tries to use utmp.h. Has any
one fixed this problem ? Or might be able to help, getting it to work
?

configure gives:
this is screen version 4.0.1

Now please check the pathnames in the Makefile and in the user
configuration section in config.h.
Then type 'make' to make screen. Good luck.

make gives:

AWK=awk CC="gcc -g -O2" srcdir=. sh ./comm.sh
AWK=awk srcdir=. sh ./term.sh
gcc -c -I. -I.    -g -O2 screen.c

Stop.

I've tried to see if I could get it fixed - but so far without any
help.
