I had the same problem with source I grabbed on the weekend.  The solution I
had was to change #undef HAVE_VSNPRINTF in config.h to #define
HAVE_VSNPRINTF.  It looked like their should be an argument to configure to
make this happen, but it didn't seem to work.

I had an internal compiler error in gnome-objc that I haven't looked into
yet, and I hit problems with mc, but all the basic stuff worked fine.
