  The configure script seems to find vasprintf on both Debian Sarge i386
and s390. The vasprintf.c file is also compiled on both platforms.

% nm -u src/zile | grep vasprintf
         U vasprintf@@GLIBC_2.0
%

  So the vasprintf.c file is compiled but not used.

  I'm not an autotools expert and I don't know if this behavior is
normal but given that, it is logical that compilation failed on s390 with
previous vasprintf.c version.

  Cheers,
