Try running:

autoreconf --install --force

I noticed that sometimes after a distribution upgrade, some of the 
autoconf generated file are still at an old versions. With the --force 
flag you get the latest again. No idea is that is the problem here, but 
it's worth a try.

Not sure what you mean with exotic macros and functions. There is 
mainly standard termios stuff, with a few Linux and Mac OS X specific 
extra's. But those are all inside #ifdef's. In theory it should compile 
on most unix like systems.

The only macros I see in this thread, are the ones you instructed to 
add:

#define HAVE_LINUX_SERIAL_H
#define __USE_BSD
#define __USE_POSIX199309

I don't know why these would make any difference. Hence my question.
