Ok, lib/snprintf.c has:

#if defined(HAVE_SNPRINTF) && defined(HAVE_VSNPRINTF) && \
defined(HAVE_C99_VSNPRINTF)
/* only include stdio.h if we are not re-defining snprintf or vsnprintf */
#include <stdio.h>
 /* make the compiler happy with an empty file */
 void dummy_snprintf(void) {} 
#else

Which suggests that configure did not set those variables for some reason. 
You need all of them.

You should look in includes/config.h to see what they are set to.

Then check your config.cache for similar symbols. You should find one of 
them set to no, I suspect. Then you might want to delete config.cache and 
rerun runfigure and check config.log for snprintf and see which one of 
those tests failed.
