It may not be that it's not finding ioctl. Look at the configure script and search
for the place where it tests for ioctl. It's compiling a C program to see what
happens. It is possible that you have something wrong with your compilation
environment. E.g., "/.configure" in the egcs-2.95 package kept failing on my
co-worker's computer. It turned out that somehow, since the last time he
compiled something on his box, his cpp binary was deleted. His C compiler no longer
worked, but of course the error message from "configure" didn't inform us of
that.
