by default for Solaris and SVR4.
--with-blibpath[=PATH]
- Tells configure to construct a -blibpath argument to the

--with-logincap
- Enable support for BSD login classes where available (OS-dependent).

Use execv() to exec the command instead of execvp(). I can't think of
4.3BSD). This is off by default.
--without-interfaces
- This option keeps sudo from trying to glean the ip address
- from each attached ethernet interface. It is only useful
- on a machine where sudo's interface reading support does
- not work, which may be the case on some SysV-based OS's
- using STREAMS.
