Interestingly enough, config.h is being generated by the "make" command,
but is being created AFTER make crashes with the error AFTER the error
that I list above.

After commenting out the #include <config.h> line from the source,
and typing "make" again, I see a sequence of lines that looks like this:

creating lp5250d
cat tn5250-config.h |sed -e 's/VERSION/TN5250_LIB_VERSION/g' -e 
'/PACKAGE/d' >config.h

Its a bit late, though..  getopt.c was compiled in the section that said
"creating lib5250.la"

This is from source that I just got from cvs, perhaps 30 mins ago...
