This is a known incompatibility of newer Linux kernel headers with older
glibc headers.  It's fixed by a newer version of glibc; I think the
autoconf people are aware of it.

I've already got mention of it in the Etc/MACHINES file for 3.0.8.  Here's
the snippet:

+       best solution is to edit config.h after running configure and
+       #define HAS_SYS_RESOURCE_H.
