You need to edit the configure script. Change line 3172 from this:
if test $ac_cv_func_gettimeofday = yes; then
to this:
if test "$ac_cv_func_gettimeofday" = yes; then
(add in the quotes as above).

Yes, I really meant stpcpy() :).

?? How could you build and run "make check" if the configure script
failed to run?
gz> In addition, I get several compiler err msg:
You cannot compile the code unless "configure" succeeds. All these
errors will not happen once you get "configure" to run correctly.
If I were you I'd extract a completely fresh copy of the source from the
tar file, make the change to the configure script above, then try again
from scratch.
