This seems to be the root of your problems. It doesn't seem like
gint32 and guint32 are defined. Try compiling and running this program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
	printf("sizeof(int) = %d\n", sizeof(int));
	printf("sizeof(long) = %d\n", sizeof(long));
}

If at least one of these are four, I'd say it's a problem with
autoconf (but I may be wrong). Get back to us with the output
of this program.
