I can't think of any explanation other than useradd was not in your path 
the first time you ran configure. Take a look at the config.log. For that 
matter the setup_shroot.sh is not complicated, edit it if you need to.  You 
can also override a path for useradd with
PROG_USERADD="/fubar/useradd" ./configure
