This shouldn't make a difference since the configurure script contains
code to define uintmax_t for this case also.  Something is going
wrong...

Please send me (privately, compressed) the config.log file.

       ^^^^^^
You mean 1.19, right?

This should be fixed in 1.19.1.

After the problem with letter.ps, please restart the compilation
process which should now continue (since letter.ps exists).  Inspite
of the problems I ask you to install 1.19.1 so that debugging is
easier.

Then find out whether `troff' or `grops' causes the problem, this is,
whether

   troff -mom -Tps letter.mom > letter.tr

or

   grops letter.tr > letter.ps

hangs.  Please start the debugger (e.g. with `gdb --args troff -mom
-Tos letter.mom'), stop the hanging process and send me a backtrace
(`bt full') for further investigation.
