This sounds like this:
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1013

which was a compiler installation problem (a bogus cdefs.h file on the
system somewhere).

That looks like the compiler is picking up a wrong buffer.h from
/nau/share/include.  Presumably you added that in CPPFLAGS or CFLAGS?
What options did you give configure?

usually comes from bad judgement.
