I think we need to go one step further and define the C macro
"_ALL_SOURCE".  Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 2 through 5 near the end of the INSTALL file.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
        string "-D_ALL_SOURCE" (I should have told you CPPFLAGS last
        time too, instead of CFLAGS -- it wouldn't have made any difference,
        however).

    5.  Perform steps 6 though 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.

Please let me know what you discover.
