 Hmm, I thought that in $WRKDIR/bsd/Makefile the btrmeter.o is always
 included. The configure script seems to check for /dev/apm existence?
 Maybe I should nuke my /dev/ and re-MAKEDEV it, as it stems from eons
 ago (/dev/apm is from Sep 14 2008) and that's the real source of the problem.
 (I recently switched i386->amd64 and didn't nuke my /dev/ then, somehow
 assuming that we only grow /dev and never remove nodes from MAKEDEV)
 
 Indeed, removing /dev/apm makes xosview build.

 Ugh. It ain't so bad but I prefer my xosview for I have spent the time
 to write the proper xresource configuration for it. Besides I hate the
 fact that gkrellm doesn't have a memory graph :)
 
 I'm unsure on whether or not this can be closed, as it's only caused by
 bogus /dev/ entries. Then again, the configure script shouldn't probably
 check for nodes in /dev/, but for existing symbols in header files or
 sysctl nodes, should it?
