To work around the bug temporarily, you can install the following patch into lib/priv-set.h and lib/priv-set.c (but don't patch the other files unless you have developer tools). I have installed this patch into gnulib, so the problem should be fixed more permanently in the next tar release. Thanks for reporting the problem. priv-set: Don't assume that priv.h exists merely because getppriv does.
