I just tried that from the top using CONFFLAGS, it fails.  it's late here, I'll
try it from the dix dir tomorrow.  Either way, it's a failure, so I'll both be
interested why it doesn't know what a uid_t is, and also why it doesn't react to
CONFFLAGS.  The only question is whether it works if it gets that flag locally.
