Nothing leaps out at me, Anthony.  The message implies that the "short" type
isn't 16 bits, which if course it is....

Let's start with something simple.  What says "grep -i short
include/config.h"?  I get:

        /* The size of a `short', as computed by sizeof. */
        #define SIZEOF_SHORT 2

Also, does config.log offer any hint?
