That's AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED. I don't think there is a sane default, is
there? The warning is mostly harmless.

You can run ./autogen.sh, which does all necessary steps. The real
distribution will of course come with a configure script.

All other problems you report are actually due to the fact that you didn't
complete all steps in autogen.sh. Try to run it on a fresh copy of the
checkout and try again.

Thanks,
Marcus
