OK,  I've commented some checks like
1) checking for clang
2) checking for preceeding underscore ...
3) checking for pthread
4) checking for sigaltstack
So the configure is good now.

Trying to make, I've got more serious error:

I think that a problem place is the following function from 
hazard-pointer.c:

How about this error ?
Are there some simple ways to workaround it?

Thanks.
