tzcode and autoconf ?

I have just downloaded tzcode96l.tar.gz, and tried to compile it on
sysv68 R3V7.1 (Motorola MVME167 board with 68040 processor), and it
failed with the following :

        cc -DTZDIR=\"/usr/local/etc/zoneinfo\"  -c zic.c
**Error: ./private.h: 72: Can't find include file stdlib.h
**Error: zic.c: 9: Can't find include file locale.h
*** Error code 1

Stop.

I can solve that myself, but,
looking in the sources, I have seen many autoconf-like HAVE_<something>
symbols.  I like the ability provided by autoconf to automatically
deduce system characteristics, and to compile in a separate directory.
Is there an autoconf'ed version of tzcode somewhere ?

On a related point : the copyright for this code is public-domain.
Would it not be better protected by the GPL ?
