Might come back to: why 'had to include MIT Kerberos' for that second compile,
yet not for the first one; and for the first compile what did 'getting round'
(ie avoiding) compiling kerberos entail.

It's doing 'lookup(program)' there, instead of 'lookup(file)': tracing through
the src indicates that one way that this can happen under certain
circumstances/conditions is if e.g. a map file has execute permission set.
Have you got any execute permissions set on either of the map files? What does
the following show currently:
$ \ls -laF /etc/auto.master /etc/auto.testautomount
$
Can you also post the current complete contents (don't omit any empty or
commented
lines) of the maps - reason is that I was able to 'break' automount in various
ways with mildly-subtle (deliberate-)'oversights' in the map files:
$ cat -A /etc/auto.master /etc/auto.testautomount
$

If still no-go, then I'd do:
----
(1) Go back to the original src - i.e. where that 'LIBTIRPC' block is _NOT_
commented out - and compile as in the book, but for the configure stage, do:
./configure --prefix=/ --mandir=/usr/share/man \
--without-systemd --without-libtirpc --without-hesiod \
--without-openldap --without-sasl
(The sasl, ldap, hesiod, &c stuff can be added back in later once we have
got
a working autofs from a basic config).
Then test and see if it goes OK.
Post the output from 'automount -v -f -d /etc/auto.master' , incl showing
what
happens when you plug a stick in: just copy'n'paste the full session, please.
--
(2) If still no-go after '(1)', then do the same as '(1)' but with the
'patch-reverted' src - i.e. with that 'LIBTIRPC' block commented out - and
use the same 'configure ...' line as in '(1)' .
