I tested it on few systems, builds OK on all the followings (amd64, with only curses support, no X):
   Debian 7.6
   gNewSense 3.1 (based on Debian 6)
   Ubuntu 14.04.1
   Trisquel 6.0.1 (based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
   OpenSUSE 13.1
   CentOS 6.5
   CentOS 7
   FreeBSD 10
   FreeBSD 9.3
   OpenBSD 5.5
   NetBSD 6.1.4
   DilOS 1.3.7 (OpenSolaris/Illumos-based)
   GNU Hurd/Debian 0.5 (i386)

"./configure" fails on MINIX R3.3.0/i386, but MINIX is not officially supported.

On thing I noticed, is that "configure.ac" (and thus "./configure")
has the following statement (line 38):
     srcdir="/${srcdir:0:1}${srcdir:2}"

I believe these are bash-specific variable expansions, not posix-compatible.

This appears in an MINGW-related "if" block, so I guess most of the time it is not encountered.
But in one instance, I got:
     $ ./configure
     ./configure: 3564: Syntax error: Bad substitution

Regards,
  - Assaf
