This is due to what I've always considered to be a bug in GCC.
See, for example,
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2005-06/msg00091.html>.
I've never gotten around to fixing it, but in the meantime I would
ignore that message.

There's no easy way to use #ifdefs, since the values in question
(e.g., the number of bits in a time_t) can't be computed by the
preprocessor.

Hmm, your compiler has long long and INT64_MAX, but not LLONG_MAX?
Which compiler is this?  Which header defines INT64_MAX?  Does your
compiler have stdint.h?  If so, does -DHAVE_STDINT_H work?  It's what
the Makefile recommends.
