Termux: trying to install procps from binaries and am having repeated issues

Summary

I first tried to build, make and install binaries using a shallow git clone but I had issues with a float and a macro in a header. I tried every which way according to my knowledge to repair the issue without success. I then endeavoured to use a full git clone. Same problem.

Steps to reproduce

Git clone.
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
Shell output as follows:

Making all in po                                                                                                  make[2]: Entering directory '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/procps/po'

What is the current bug behavior?

Make is unsuccessful, as advised above.

What is the expected correct behavior?

For 'make' to succeed. Then, to proceed to 'make install'.

This bug happens on GitLab.com

Issues with procps-ng project bug reporting

The bug reporting page hypertext linkage on the GitLab procps-ng project page is cyclical and just points back to the same page. The only place I could find to register a bug request or request for help is here, where I lodged it.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Thank you Beauford
