As long as it provides the necessary C and POSIX API it should be possible.

No, just try to configure + compile it and fix problems as they arise.

To which makefiles are you referring to? The canonical way for unix-like
system is to run configure (it creates the necessary makefiles) and then
to run make. The other makefiles are either input files to create the
real makefiles, or they are for non-gcc compilers, or they are legacy
makefiles.

This happens if STDC_HEADERS isn't defined. You either haven't run
configure, configure wasn't able to detect the headers, or your system
doesn't have the headers. I assume you haven't run configure (you should
redirect the output of configure to a file, to be able to have a closer
look at it if something doesn't work).

That's the code to produce a Windows DLL, it isn't used on unix-like
systems.

LAME doesn't have a GUI (more correctly: there's one, but it's targeted
at the developers, it's not useful for people which just want to encode
a MP3 and it isn't build by default).
