Hello,

While testing paths, ./configure uses test -r to check for those who
are not provided by system headers.  However, this does not work for
root-only files.  On hurd-i386 for instance, /dev/klog is only root
readable, so the test fails, and thus inetutils-syslogd doesn't fill
/dev/kern.log. ./configure should use test -e instead, here is a patch.
