See: http://www.gnu.org/software/checker/   for an explanation.  It's something
the gcc folks stopped supporting, and I never got around to getting rid of the
configure option.

As far as the missing "crc32c_table.h", that looks like "make depend" is not
working on your setup.   I'd recommend getting the original Makefile.in files
from upstream, and not trying to run "make depend".   I run it before I do a
release, but it's never something I've tried to make to be fully portable and
bulletproof for every single possible VPATH setting, etc.   It's intended for
use by developers, and not for random users who are trying to build e2fsprogs.

For similar reasons, that's why I also ship a generated configure script ---
because I got tired of random breakages caused by people happening to use a
different version of autoconf than what I happened to be developing against. 
autoconf, automake, etc., are inherently fragile solutions.  You really should
be using the version of configure and the Makefile.in files that I shipped.  If
you try to regenerate them, you're just asking for trouble.

Why don't you follow the INSTALL directions exactly.  That will work.  Other
things, well, feel free to send me patches.  :-)
