Looks like perl's config's idea of ALIGNBYTES disagrees with NetBSD's
idea.

NetBSD keeps some parameters in different places than many non-NetBSD-aware
configurers expect. This case might be one of them. Another possability
might be that the two definitions are compatable, just different.

Maybe just try deleting the definition from config.h

I don't think your problems are from a crippled C compiler, but from
naughty config files. Since our cc is gcc, it should behave well.
