Craig, 

Thank you for testing rc4.  I'll put together a "proper patch" tonight.  I
hope you'll try rc5.  ;-)

In login.c, I see:

#if HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H
#include <sys/socket.h>
#endif /* HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H */

#if HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H
#include <sys/types.h>
#endif /* HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H */

If you reverse these two blocks, does it compile?  

If so, then perhaps pool.h should be:

#if HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H
#include <sys/types.h>
#endif /* HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H */

#if HAVE_NETINET_IN_H
#include <netinet/in.h>
#endif /* HAVE_NETINET_IN_H */

You can expect fixes along those lines tonight.
