One thing I'd like to point out is the /usr/contrib/include hierarchy that
I maintain on Jazz under CVS. Many of these missing headers are there and
as I find more, I add them. If you noticed in my prior post about my
configure script, my CFLAGS includes "-I/usr/contrib/include". This picks
up a number of the missing header files that I've discovered.

As far as why the configuration isn't being honored by the source code,
that's a "stupid programmer trick". When using the automake/autoconf,
one must make sure that the appropriate #ifdef HAVE_blah is declared
around those features that differ by platform. The problem is that many
programmers use the autoconf tools without completely embracing them. :-/
