After updating my system i tried to rebuild Xorg ports. All went fine 
until it has to compile x11/sessreg.

It seems that the configure script does not find struct 
'utmpx.ut_syslen' and so the build process falls back to utmp?

Could you please take a look if this is an issue of the new interface.

This is on 9.0-CURRENT (amd64).

Thanks in advance,
Rainer
