Tried the suggestion offered.   None ran error free.  make distclean cleaned a bit too much, so I ended up deleting and re-extracting the tar file.

After a new ./configure, I edited the resultant  Makefiile as noted earlier but got this result:

Just guessing, but is it telling me, essentially, that this missing gnu/stubs-32.h is the immediate problem?
