The section you want to look at is:
...
#
if [ -z "$FAXGID" ]; then
    case $TARGET in
    *-aix*)     FAXGID=uucp;;
    *-bsdi*)    FAXGID=uucp;;
    *freebsd2.1*) FAXGID=uucp; break;; # Not sure when this changed..
    *bsd*)      FAXGID=dialer;;
    *-hpux*)    FAXGID=sys;;
    *-irix*)    FAXGID=nuucp;;
...

What is the output of config.guess ?
What does the passwd file look like on your system (system accounts only)
