At least some of these reports are coming from me. My test environments
are deliberately minimal - that is, I build them with Configure, make,
make test, make install, plus I install the handful of modules required
to report tests, and that's it. h2ph is documented in INSTALL as being
merely something that you *may* wish to do:
sh Configure
make
make test
make install
# You may also wish to add these:
(cd /usr/include && h2ph *.h sys/*.h)
...
so I've not done it. If people think that perhaps I should, then I
will. Can't promise to remember to do it next time I build a test
environment though, mind :-)
Incidentally, the h2ph invocation should probably be clarified as
$PREFIX/h2ph in the docs.

Computer Science is about lofty design goals and careful algorithmic
optimisation. Sysadminning is about cleaning up the resulting mess.
