Sounds like it.  You might need to grab the waders and muck around in
${OPENWINHOME}/lib/config to fix the problem.

I had the same problem with NetBSD/i386.  I just patched fvwm.c to remove
the basename reference.

The output looks like:

My best guess is:  It would have trimmed the directory ("./") out.
Nothing major, just a cosmetic change.
Looks like libgen (libgen.h, -lgen) handles this in solaris, and libutil
(util.h (?), -lutil) in others (linux?).  (Mebbe, lots of speculation here)
Of which, neither exist in a base NetBSD system.
I had another complaint, tho.. (a minor nag).. can we use a fully-qualified
directory name in the distribution tarball?  fvwm/foo, as compared to
fvwm-2.0.39/foo, is highly annoying when I want to keep at least one old
revision around.
Otherwise, keep up the good work.
