Hi.  Thank you for testing!  That happens when the package is not
bootstraped properly, due to autoreconf importing too old wint_t.m4 and
other files.

I recommend building from the released tarball directly with ./configure
&& make, and not doing autoreconf.  If you really want to rebuild
everything from sources, you should follow the instructions in HACKING
and be prepared that these may change for every release:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libidn.git/tree/HACKING

See extra rules in bootstrap.conf on how to properly set the project up
for building; running autoreconf is not sufficient.  Some notes here:
