I don't get any error on Ubuntu 8.10 on x86_64 (but several of those 
warnings about ignored return values), neither with the tar file nor a 
cloned repository (in the former case I had to add a "make configure" 
step, though).

Line 52 of /usr/include/stdint.h:
	typedef unsigned int		uint32_t;

Lines 134-136 of /usr/include/stdint.h:
	#if __WORDSIZE == 64
	typedef long int		intmax_t;
	typedef unsigned long int	uintmax_t;

If you get to line 136, you probably are on a 64 bit installation, too, 
correct?

configure seems to be confused.  What happens if you take it out of the 
equation, i.e. run the following commands?

	$ make distclean
	$ make prefix=/usr
