Hmmm ... I'm just a user of autoconf, too. It doesn't find a shell?

In order to correctly backup/restore devices FSVS has to know how to split
the device number into the major/minor part.
If you never need to move your committed devices to another operating
system, you can ignore that, I think.
(But please try restoring devices, eg. via "fsvs export", to make sure
that this works!)
Or do you know the FreeBSD header file with definitions for MAJOR(),
MINOR() and MAKEDEV()?

I just copied/pasted that together myself, and don't really know what I'm
doing, too ;-)
Please try changing the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the generated "Makefile";
you should be able to make it find the libraries.
Did you install other software, which uses autoconf, but works? I ask so
that I can take a look at their "configure.in"s.
HTH!

Phil
