No. The error you're getting:

>checking for key_t... yes
>checking size of key_t... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (key_t)
>See `config.log' for more details.

is odd indeed, but wouldn't be affected by any of the configure options you've 
used. Please attach a copy of config.log so that we can see the underlying 
problem.
