If the C preprocessor is failing, you really need to figure out why rather than hacking the configure script to ignore it. If you look in the config.log file, you will find the exact error message that indicates why the preprocessor failed to process ctl.h. Editing the configure script almost always indicates that you are making a mistake. (It might be as simple as adding CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/sw/include to the configure command line, to tell the preprocessor where to find header files. See also the section on installation paths in the manual.)
