This is the getpwuid_r function as used in GLib. GLib seems to have found it.
try to reconfigure GLib (after deleting config.cache). If still config.h has
the line

#define HAVE_GETPWUID_R

in it, just delete it. But in fact it shouldn't be there in the first place,
so you might want to provide some insight, why GLib configure.in thinks, you
have getpwuid_r

Bye,
Sebastian
