Follow-up Comment #3:

That particular problem has gone way, but a couple of others sneaked in:

* Initially, the configure step (with Studio 12.2 cc, but independent of
  the compiler used) failed: the last relevant line in config.log is

configure:12489: checking for MAP_ANONYMOUS
configure:3255: error: fn_grep: regular expressions not supported

  For some reason, configure decides that the GNU grep 2.5.1 I have in
  PATH is insufficient and falls back to fn_grep, which fails on several
  patterns that are taken as regular expressions.  Removing the
  offending dots lets configure complete:

* There's one compiler warning:

not fit or is out of range: 0xfffffffc

* A couple of tests fail:

FAIL: test-mbrtowc4.sh
FAIL: test-mbrtowc3.sh
FAIL: test-mbsrtowcs4.sh
FAIL: test-setlocale2.sh
FAIL: test-mbrtowc3.sh (exit: 262)

(Thanks to Rainer Orth for passing me the above results).
