Something went very wrong with your configure process:

All the 'size of' operations return 0 as the size. That should definately
not happen, and is the cause of the LONG_MAX error you're seeing. But if it
wasn't for that error, it would have been causing hundreds of other errors.
You need to figure out why it was returning 0 for those sizeof checks, I'm
afraid. Step one is to remove the 'config.cache' file, and re-run configure,
and hope it's fixed now. If it's still broken, remove 'config.cache' again,
and check for filled disks, or broken compilers. Check config.log for any
special message. Each time you try configure and it fails, be sure to remove
the config.cache file, or it will use the old values.
