I think that the double quotes are turning the -m flags into a filename
beginning with a space.
The enclosed patch seems to work.
I saw the commit message, but the proposed solution still doesn't solve the
problem: it is possible to have a utmp group defined but not use it
for the file-permissions on /var/whatever. There's no 100% standard pathname
for that file, so the configure script does some work to decide if it looks
reasonable.
The configure script is irrelevant. If you come up with a means to make this
work properly with imake & Xinstall, then by all means do so.
