The build log will help, yes. Please gzip the output of 'configure' and of 
'make' and the contents of 'config.log', and attach the resulting file.

I assume Intel's <stddef.h> does not define max_align_t as C11 requires; is that 
right? If so, the 'configure' command is supposed to arrange for lib/stddef.h to 
define max_align_t.

Apparently this is not working for you. Does 'make' build a file lib/stddef.h at 
all? If not, why not? If so, what does lib/stddef.h contain?
