It is true I did not run aclocal beforehand, I merely ran autoconf
again.  I had installed and was using automake 1.11.3 and autoconf
2.68.

On the code from your new tarball I downloaded, the compilation
produces the same error about INT_MAX > PTRDIFF_MAX as before.  I
suspect these lines from the configure output are relevant:

checking for bit size of ptrdiff_t... unknown
checking for bit size of size_t... unknown
checking for bit size of sig_atomic_t... unknown
checking for bit size of wchar_t... unknown
checking for bit size of wint_t... unknown

I am attaching the full output log of the commands you requested.

Chris
