Below is a patch to configure that makes things work on my system. (Maybe gcc 
v3.3.4 is a bit more picky about referencing structure elements in a printf 
and causes the conftest test to fail...???) 

I suspect this is OK for newer kernels/gcc but may not be safe for older 
task_struct's which don't have rlim as a structure. YMMV. Consequently I'm 
posting this for information only.
