I know next to nothing about the way fvwm is built (I know
it works when I ./configure/make it :) ), but it seems that
RETSIGTYPE is defined in config.h. Is that file dynamically
generated?

I could see how if that file is not present (or is for some
reason wrong) and RETSIGTYPE is not defined, you'd get an
error message, since preprocessor would see something like 
   #if != void
