I'm back and have now tested again on Linux, Hurd and kFreeBSD.

Now depending on libbsd-dev, see debian_control.diff. See also configure.ac.diff
(same as before) and an updated common_unix-peer.c.diff.

This failing test confused me a long time, as it did build fine on a not yet
fully updated kfreebsd-amd64 image. The problem is libffi8 and libffi-dev:
3.4.2-2 in combination with autoconf 2.71-2. Downgrading to 3.3-6 the package
builds fine.

This problem is probably the same as 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=995223 where it causes SIGILL
problems for powerpc and ppc64 in connection with autoconf 2.71-2.

Especially suspicious build log entries of libffi8  (3.4.2-2):
configure.ac:8: warning: The macro `AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM' is obsolete.
configure.ac:41: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' is obsolete.
configure.ac:74: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_COMPILE' is obsolete.
configure.ac:91: warning: The macro `AC_HEADER_STDC' is obsolete.
configure.ac:122: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_LINK' is obsolete.
configure.ac:310: warning: The macro `AC_HELP_STRING' is obsolete.
configure.ac:310: warning: The macro `AC_HELP_STRING' is obsolete.
configure.ac:418: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_LD' is obsolete.
configure.ac:418: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_RUN' is obsolete.

The build of 3.4.2-1 did not show the above warnings with autoconf 2.69-14.
