need to add configure option --enable-storeio=null in above. a snip from
configure help..

--enable-storeio="list of modules"
                           Build support for the list of store I/O modules.
                           The default is only to build the "ufs" module.
                           See src/fs for a list of available modules, or
                           Programmers Guide section <not yet written>
                           for details on how to build your custom store module
