the whole point to use configure is to detect certain features and do 
the build according to these. if a certain feature is unavailable, pd 
should be built without this feature (or the configure should stop with 
an error).
your configure-output seems fine to me, mine does not look really 
different (well, my _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is 64, but i don't think that this 
will fail your build)

in order to give some valuable help, it would be interesting to know 
where the build fails, instead of showing some random lines where the 
problem might be (or as well not)...

anyhow, please post the actual error.
