 Hello again,
 
 I had a closer look into the configure stuff, and I think that the
 problems in auto-host.h are caused by the fact that "ac_cv_type_ssize_t"
 and "ac_cv_type_pid_t" are not detected correctly. They should be
 set to "yes", but they are set to "no". This causes several other tests
 in the configure scripts to fail with the result of a screwed up
 "auto-host.h"-file.
 
 I'm now trying to bootstrap the compiler using the follwing two entries
 "config.cache" file:
 
 ac_cv_type_ssize_t=${ac_cv_type_ssize_t=yes}
 ac_cv_type_pid_t=${ac_cv_type_pid_t=yes}
 
 The first result is that the other four problems in auto-host.h
 disappeared. I have to see whether the rest of the bootstrap process
 runs fine, though.
 
 Meanwhile, I try to understand, why "ac_cv_type_ssize_t" and
 "ac_cv_type_pid_t" aren't set correctly.
 
 Greetings,
 Volker
