IIRC, the actual breakage is due to an included slightly-hacked version of
tcsh that gets used to build the qtcsh command.  Since I never used that 
command, I just hacked that one part of the included tcsh to not
do anything with utmp and it built; something like this:

A better fix would be to apply whatever fixes were done in fbsd tcsh code to
accomodate the New Utmp Scheme, of course, but this was good enough for me.
