Oops, I had seen your name in connection to some earlier bug
fixes so I thought you already had an account there.

Well I meant you to compile those four lines as a separate file.
But never mind, config.log already contains similar information.

This config.h does not mention HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H at all.
It also begins with these lines

/* config.h.  Generated by configure.  */
/* config.h.in.  Generated automatically from configure.in by autoheader 2.13.  */

whereas the previous one (which defined HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H) began:

/* config.h.  Generated by configure.  */
/* config.h.in.  Generated from configure.in by autoheader.  */

It seems something has run autoheader 2.13 in your computer
and it did not handle configure.in entirely right.  I am using
Autoconf 2.61 here, and when I last tried 2.13, I got errors.
We should probably change the AC_PREREQ(2.13) in configure.in
to something more recent, so that old versions of Autoconf would
refuse to process the file; but of course that won't help with
the already released ELinks 0.11.3.

Please delete that source tree and start over from
elinks-0.11.3.tar.gz (or .bz2).  Then add these lines to the
beginning of src/util/time.h, above #ifndef EL__UTIL_TIME_H:

#ifdef HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H
# warning "HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H defined"
#else
# warning "HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H not defined"
#endif
#ifdef _SYS_TYPES_H
# warning "_SYS_TYPES_H defined"
#else
# warning "_SYS_TYPES_H not defined"
#endif
#ifdef __off_t_defined
# warning "__off_t_defined defined"
#endif
# warning "__off_t_defined not defined"
#endif
#ifdef __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
# warning "__USE_FILE_OFFSET64 defined"
#endif
# warning "__USE_FILE_OFFSET64 not defined"
#endif

Configure and compile, and post the build log so that I can see
the resulting warnings.  It will be especially interesting to see
whether the warnings differ between renderer.c and other files.
If they become errors rather than warnings, remove -Werror from
CFLAGS in Makefile.config.
