fwiw (and it should not make a difference), 'root' ought not be needed except
for 'make install'.

cannot say anything about MS Windows version, but ime self-compiled POV-Ray is
solid and dependable[*].  I've looked through the build log (thanks) but
everything looks .. nominal.  I'm guessing that o/wise you have no problems with
any of the linked-to libraries ?  the only "straw to clutch" I can think of is
that your compiler may be too new ?  try with '-std=c++11' in the CXXFLAGS.
right out of ideas, otherwise.  sorry.

[*] there are known bugs, of course.
