Try to use a snapshot, an use the bundled ./configure rather than autogen.

This patch indeed works. However, the effect is that you can't control how
the connection points are spaced. Wouldn't it be better to allow a variable
number of points (like, for instance, "SADT - Box" -- try to middle click on
one of the edges) ?

I'm still undecided; either going to a full connpoint_line or your patch
should go in shortly. The only problem I see with including your patch is:
should we go afterwards to connpoint_line, how do we handle the conversion
(the cpl should then default to 1 point for pre-patch, and 7 points for
post-patch. Might be a leeetle tricky to handle, so going CPL right away
would be better. I'm ready to help you on this, of course).
