This seems to be another case of a 'configure' program trying to be
too clever for its own good. Or perhaps a lazy author. 8-(

I would suspect that "apps.c" does not include sys/types.h, which is
usually required for files in /usr/include/sys, and the compiler is
complaining because it cannot see a definition of a type it needs. 
Adding a line

#include <sys/types.h>

to apps.c just before line 51 should fix this.

Incidentally, looking at the arguments to gcc, '-O2' is known to cause
buggy code to be currently generated by gcc on all i386 platforms (not
just FreeBSD) - either change it to '-O', or add '-fno-strength-reduce'.
