Hmm...

That would cause a SIGSEGV when the configure script was run?  I can't
think of anything.

The configure script does make use of environment variables (including
PATH).  Can you clear almost all of them and try again?

If I could log onto the system in question I might be able to solve the
problem more quickly.
