I had the same problem compiling it on a 3B1 with Gnu-CC 1.37.1.  If 
you look at line 404 in config.h (which is in the same directory as 
the master makefile, configuration scripts, etc.), you will see that 
it looks something like:

#               SOMETHING_TO_BE_DEFINED /* */

Which is exactly what your preprocessor is telling you -- an undefined
control.

This did not happen with our 3B2, SVR3.1.1, compiler issue 4.2.
