You didn't say which instance of ss_sp.  However, I think this patch does
the trick.  Let me know if you need a private snapshot of 1.4.8a with the
patch pre-applied (and configure regenerated), to test it out on your machine.

I'm still not sure why your system wchar.h breaks the compile.  What does
/usr/include/wchar.h look like around line 16?  ('head -n20
/usr/include/wchar.h' might be useful).  Once we figure out what
prerequisite header is missing from gnulib's mbchar.[ch], we can hopefully
get that fixed.

        * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_MEMBERS): Check for stack_t.ss_sp, and
        assume the fallback of ss_base for BSDI 4.0.1.
        * src/stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap) [HAVE_SIGALTSTACK &&
        ! HAVE_STACK_T_SS_SP]: Use this check.
        Reported by Chris McGuire.
        * THANKS: Update.
