Hello,
I am not sure, but I think (see
/usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz) you are invoking
./configure the wrong way. This makes it build successfully for me:

And the new buildlog (the gcc invokations) is basically identical to
1.0.18-1.

I prefer this for bz2- only packages:
bzcat alsa-lib-1.0.19.tar.bz2 | gzip -9 --rsyncable >
alsa-lib_1.0.19.orig.tar.gz
* Saves diskspace
* Faster
* mdsum of upstream tarball and repacked one stay identical.
