For the sake of the exercise, I followed the above steps and ended up with:

(...)
gcc  -g -O2 -DNDEBUG   -o gawk array.o awkgram.o builtin.o cint_array.o 
command.o debug.o dfa.o eval.o ext.o field.o floatcomp.o gawkapi.o 
gawkmisc.o getopt.o getopt1.o int_array.o io.o main.o mpfr.o msg.o 
node.o profile.o random.o re.o regex.o replace.o str_array.o symbol.o 
version.o    -lreadline  -lm -lm
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_history_list", referenced from:
      _serialize in debug.o
      _do_save in debug.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [gawk] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Strange enough, everything works out fine when compiling in my local git 
repository:

$ git pull && ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local 
--with-mpfr=/opt/local && make check

(...)
ALL TESTS PASSED
