fdwalk appears to be a SunOS/Solaris function that is not available on Linux. So I think this is working as intended.

[Comment 3 Sven Wegener 2023-08-01 20:30:14 UTC]

The check should be an AC_CHECK_FUNCS or include a dummy declaration for fdwalk() in the test snippet, to avoid the spurious error message.
The support for fdwalk() has been removed in screen git master, so I do not consider fixing the warning worth it.
