I compared your vanilla config.h to one generated on my working
machine.  The main differences I can see are:

You have the following headers which I don't have:
<sys/bitypes.h>
<sys/cdefs.h>

My machine has this that yours doesn't:
<sys/stat.h> (this is owned by the bos.adt.include fileset).

Also vaguely recall having linker problems with 4.2.1.0.

I suggest:
a) Upgrading the bos.rte.bind_cmds fileset [1] and possibly the bos.adt
filesets.
b) Finding and renaming those extra headers
c) Reinstalling the bos.adt.* filesets.

usually comes from bad judgement.
