I have find out that the error message

What this function does?
I saw in openSUSE SRPM that option --with-wide-int is used.
In Fedora or RHEL we are not using it.

Options which are used for compiling are:
./configure --build=powerpc64le-redhat-linux-gnu 
--host=powerpc64le-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= 
--disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr 
--bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc 
--datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-dbus --with-gif 
--with-jpeg --with-png --with-rsvg --with-tiff --with-xft --with-xpm 
--with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-gpm=no
