configure doesn't create Makefile

[Dr. Ing. Roland Krause]

Hi,
I was trying to get the latest cvs snapshot to compile under Linux
Mandrake 7.0. The compiler is gcc-2.95.2 make is version 3.77 latest
autoconf and automake tools also.

After running autogen.sh configure fails to create the top-level
Makefile. There is some output of the failure on stdout but not in
config.log
I have attached the stdout dump from configure.

I started from scratch with a cvs co b.t.w.

Thanks
Roland
