The difference in machines and OS versions is almost 100% certainly a 
red herring.  The real problem is bound to lie in the versions of 
underlying libraries your self-built version uses.

Unfortunately, none of those attachments made it to the mailing list. 
Configure.out in particular would have been absolutely crucial to see. 
Without it all I can offer is a guess: look at the startup-screen of 
your respective gnuplot binaries: what do they report as the terminal 
driver?  The output of "show version long" would be almost equally 
informative.

By having different terminals compiled in and used, for one thing.
