Your problem stems from the configure script determining that the sizes
of the above types are zero.  This caused the compile of libsrc/putget.c
to fail because it didn't have any code for handling this situation.

The following compile-and-link is where the configure script attempted
to determine the size of a C "short.

Apparently, something went wrong with the compile-and-link.  I believe
signal 7 on your system is CPULIM.  It looks like you ran out of time.

You'll have to get more CPU time.  When you start over, you'll have to
re-execute the configure script.

Could it be that you don't have enough CPU time to even execute the
configure script?
