    Just to be clear, it is why the ./configure script failed to produce
    valid results that confused me and not the exact build error.
    Your diagnosis corresponds with my impression, except I probably forgot
    to suggest deleting the config.h files ..., since I do this automatically
    when I run into similar odd errors. Anyway, it seems to be working for
    him now, so I'll let the issue rest.
