I suggest the following:

    1.  In file CUSTOMIZE, remove the -DXDRSTDIO from CPPFLAGS and don't
        set XDRFILE.

    2.  Execute a `make clean'.

    3.  Re-execute the configure script.  Trap the output and send it to
        me if a problem occurs.

    4.  Re-execute a `make clean'.  Trap the output and send it to me if
        a problem occurs.

    5.  Re-execute a `make test'.  Trap the output and send it to me if
        a problem occurs.
