but while configure is good, make fails quickly on this debian 9 install:

libtool: compile:  
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../config -fno-strict-aliasing -D_GNU_SOURCE -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -MT 
localcharset.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/localcharset.Tpo -c 
localcharset.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/localcharset.o
In file included from localcharset.c:28:0:
./stdio.h:456:1: error: 'gets' undeclared here (not in a function)
 _GL_WARN_ON_USE (gets, "gets is a security hole - use fgets instead");
 ^

so, next older one. or better yet, see if the first one will make on 
stretch.
