trouble installing builds from the last few months

[Gerda Shank]

We want to use a method that was implemented in July, but I haven't been 
able to get the build files to install on my CentOS 5.5 system.

It fails with the following:

==============================
depbase=`echo areadlink.lo | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.lo$||'`;\
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -std=gnu99

==================================

the stdlib.h that's in the 'gl' directory has the following lines, which 
is what doesn't work:

#if defined __need_malloc_and_calloc
/* Special invocation convention inside glibc header files. */

# "///usr/include/stdlib.h"

#else
/* Normal invocation convention. */

#ifndef _GL_STDLIB_H

/* The include_next requires a split double-inclusion guard. */
# "///usr/include/stdlib.h"

====================================

Any idea what I can do to get this to compile?
