Enrico,

These usually take me a while to go through.  It would be better for me if you could propose them individually, and to the list in case discussion is warranted.

make distclean' now really cleans up:  not applied -- I have discussed the rationale for the current "clean" state.
Added --sharedlibdir:  applied
removed call to ldconfig:  not applied -- somebody wanted ldconfig in there [perhaps discuss on list]
fixed crosscompiling:  not applied -- this actually removes, not fixes cross-compiling, and removes something that is otherwise harmless if those symbols are not set
check for vs[n]printf() or s[n]printf():  not applied -- using no messages instead of zero status code works, not proven that zero status code always works
fixed check for <unistd.h>:  not applied -- same thing
fixed check for off64_t and fseeko():  not applied -- same thing
fixed check for shared libraries:  not applied -- same thing
fixed check for <errno.h>:  not applied -- NO_ERRNO_H is not used in zlib
(gentoo) symbol visibility:  applied (though test in configure done once, not twice, and used existing define for this purpose)
