Something is missing in your Perl installation (see test-suite.log):

"Can't locate HTTP/Daemon.pm in @INC (@INC contains: . /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/
i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/
i486-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/
site_perl .) at HTTPServer.pm line 6."

Looks like you need this HTTP/Daemon.pm in your Perl search path (@INC ?).
On Debian this is in package 'libwww-perl', but there should be similar 
packages for other distros as well.

This should be reported to address@hidden (Both .c files are from gnulib.)
Could you you do this ?

There is no 64bit integer type on your system ? Or the detection does not 
work. How long is 'long long' or off_t in your system ?

If that is really true, just do not download files larger than 2^31 bytes (to 
be on the save side, maybe 2^32 works out - but you should test it well).
