Chances are you are getting a default symlink created for config.log
pointing to someplace that you don't have permission to write to.
What you want to do is something like:
    cd ORBit/popt
    rm -f config.log
    touch config.log
    cd ..
    ./autogen.sh
    make

and most likely your problem will be solved.
