My Makefile says:

CC              = gcc
DEFS            = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DHOST=\"i686-pc-linux-gnu\"

and thus..

gcc -g  -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DHOST=\"i686-pc-linux-gnu\" -I. -I../../arla-20051124/include   -c -o bits.o ../../arla-20051124/include/bits.c

Your config.log contains

CANONICAL_HOST='i686-pc-linux-gnu'

which is used in Makefile.in, so your Makefile should contain that, too.

then that is in DEFS and then that is used in CFLAGS. Did you override
CFLAGS somehow? According to what I see, it should be there.
