This might shed some light on the va_list problem reported previously.

Mea cupla.

Looks like I spoke too soon. Further experimentation shows the same error.
Only thing I can figure was that I was compiling version 1.2.2 (always
compiled fine), which I was comparing to p1 at the time, and never noticed
it.

Back to square one, or perhaps not... I tried copying the Makefile generated
by the v1.2.2 distribution into p1, after modifying LDFLAGS and LIBOBJS, and
lo, it compiles! Looks like it runs too, so far...

Perhaps more problems have snuck into configure?

Can you run diff on your modified Makefile and the one that configure
produces?
