Well, I am not really an expert of configuration problems ...
If things were going straight, you should have a

#define SIZEOF_MP_LIMB_T ...

in file <build_path>/config.h, as well as a

#define PPL_SIZEOF_MP_LIMB_T ...

in your <build_dir>/ppl-config.h.

As far as I can see, you seems to have the first one but not the second 
one of those defines. Hence, I guess the problem should occur in the 
execution of

	/usr/bin/sed -f ./ppl-config.sed  >ppl-config.h

Either you are using a non-compatible version of `sed', or our script 
ppl-config.sed assumes something which is not generally portable.

Can you please confirm my guessing above?
Which version of sed are you using?
