For starters:

sethdlc is used if you want to use TDM channels to make a network
interface. This is a rather uncommen use. It also requires some extra
support in the kernel.

So the first question is: does your kernel actually support it? If it
doesn't, the configure script should be fixed not to attempt to build
it.
