Andrey, can you check if latest HEAD (bbe0a81db) has these ./configure warnings ?

If so, can you check if your environment is clean, specifically lz4.h - if
you've installed LZ4 from source, I have to imagine that's relevant.
Most users won't do that, but it should be a supported configuration, too.
