We were seeing reproducibility issues where one host would use the internal logwtmp wrapper, another would use the one in libutil. The issue was that in some cases the "\#include" was making it to CC, in others, "#include". The issue seems to be related to shell escaping. The root cause looks to be: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=c6966b323811c37acedff05b576b907b06aea5f4 Instead of relying on shell quoting, use make to indirect the variable and avoid the problem.
