Linux is one of the nightly testing platforms and that works fine, so
I'm not sure what your problem is; could you provide some more details,
please?  As for client_active, I just grepped the src directory and the
only place it appears is in the ChangeLogs -- it sounds like you have
old versions of some files.  Please try a fresh check-out and save the
configure and make output and send them to info-cvs if you still have
problems.

There have been at least 223 changes checked in to the src directory in
the last two years, plus changes to other directories as well.  Just
because one particular patch hasn't been incorporated you shouldn't
conclude that nothing's being done.
