When I have problems with 'configure', I often change the first line of 'configure'
to contain '-xv' switches, and then run

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

- the above in 'sh'-like syntax.

This often helps to understand why exactly 'configure' fails. I find this to be
more useful than the standard 'config.log'. This helps to understand the logic
of 'configure' itself and to see what it is checking and where.
