There ONE '&' which says to run in background - the last one.

Why do you care ?

Do not run in the backround if you do not want to - it doesn't matter.

The first '&' is related to redirection of STDERR.

Have you ever heard of STDOUT and STDERR redirection ?

Do you understand what the '1>configure.log 2>&1' mean in the suggested

./configure <whatever_your_args> 1>configure.log 2>&1 &

command line ?

Could you please stop slandering my tool - you appear not to understand
the command line at all and it appears that your not understanding the
command line is not tool-specific. You appear not to understand for
both my tool and standard 'configure'.
