Here's your answer, hope it's not too much:

In file included from common-src/amflock.c:48,
from configure:19266:
common-src/amanda.h:509: parse error before `areads_dataready'
common-src/amanda.h:509: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
configure: failed program was:
#line 19261 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#undef ASSERTIONS
#define CONFIGURE_TEST
#define USE_LNLOCK
#include "./common-src/amflock.c"
#include "./common-src/alloc.c"
#include "./common-src/error.c"
#include "./common-src/snprintf.c"
All the locking programs fail the same way, at the same
line 509 in amanda.h, in 2.4.2, whereas it declares posix
locking works right away in 2.4.1.
Comparing the config.cache (2.4.2 on the left, 2.4.1 on the right):

Jeez, I hope this helps.
