Fix them :-).

Yes.  Very much so.

Take a look at config.log and see why the test programs are failing.
It might even be the ruserok() problem.

In theory, the declaration in amanda.h is only enabled if ./configure
did **not** find a declaration in a certain set of system header files.
Where is the second (system) declaration on your system?  This may
just be a matter of adding another header file to the list or fixing a
test program.  Again, look for what happened in config.log.
