"tcerl-1.3.1h" and 'tcerldrv-1.3.1g' fail to build on OSX with Erlang R13B03

I tried to build "tcerl-1.3.1h" and 'tcerldrv-1.3.1g' on my OSX10.5.8
(gcc 4.0.1), but they won't complile cleanly:

=========================================
It seems that the API changed a bit. For example, "bool()" type is now
called "boolean()". See footnote[1] below which includes the fix !
Moreover, 'tcerldrv-1.3.1g' complains about duplicate 'socklen_t'

=========================================
Stupid autotools ! A simple workaround is to recompile like this:
$ CFLAGS="-DHAVE_SOCKLEN_T" ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
$ make && make install
After that, everything should be fine:
$ erl
1>tcerl:start().
ok
