No, I didn't see an error.  The 4.2.1.1 config.log you sent has

  #define SIZEOF_SIZE_T 8

near the end, which is correct for a 64-bit platform.  Note that 
config.log output from running configure  is expected to contain
lots of error messages produced in testing and adapting to the 
programming environment ...
