Did I forget a specific 64 bit option?
I get that too (Ubuntu 16.04 also), both with my own fork and 21.5.34.
On my own fork, I worked round it by adding
--cflags='-std=gnu90 -g -O'
to the configure command; for 21.5.34 you can do
CFLAGS='-std=gnu90 -g -O' bash configure
("-std=gnu90' being the relevant bit)
I suppose this is some interaction of C dialect variation and gcc
changes, but I haven't found what. (Ubuntu is using gcc 5.4.0 as of
now, though I think it was using 4.9.? last time I tried.)
Incidentally, ./configure also fails, because configure says
#! /bin/sh
which these days tells bash to be strictly sh-like, and the sh-like
behaviour doesn't have set -o posix which appears somewhere in
configure.
