To reproduce:

1. Make new AWS micro Ubuntu 16.04 instance
2. Install prereqs per build-unix.md
3. ./autogen.sh
4. ./config --without-gui
5. make

make should build bitcoind

instead, an error prevents this

using version 0.9.5, also tried 0.9.5rc2

According to https://bitcoincore.org/en/lifecycle/ this version is EOL for a year now. Please try a more recent version.

Ha, higher versions were hiding offscreen. Thanks.

Second result for this on Google so here's the fix for anyone who stumbles in here.

That fixed it - thanks!
