Thanks for the report!
I've just tracked down this bug in the configure tests.
Here's the patch that will be in the next test release:
[I include this patch just so you'll know -- you'd need very
recent versions of autoconf and automake to apply and use it. ]
su doesn't work on Solaris2.6.
* lib-check.m4: When checking for struct spwd.sp_pwdp, also include
<shadow.h>. Reported by Dragos Harabor.
