That's inside this construction:

#ifndef HAVE_FINITE
int finite(double);
#endif

If HAVE_FINITE is defined incorrectly, you get the finite() macro
expanded at that point and...

So: Are you doing this on clean sources? Something may be lingering in
config.cache from another build. Try "make distclean ; make".
Otherwise configure is somehow getting confused and some
hand-fiddling/debugging of the results is needed. RH 4.2 is known to
work.
