Aha. It does put it elsewhere.

And it removes it all when the script exits.

opps, gotta hit that cc button :)
The output you posted looks like a standard autoconf-type configure. I think
that the config.log should be created in the current working directory when
configure is executed. I can't imagine how it could not be created. This
build.sh doesn't locate the temporary build stuff in /tmp, or somewhere,
does it?
Not too sure, here is the relevent code from the build.sh script though:
# Build bootstrap nbmake if needed.
if $do_rebuildmake; then
$runcmd echo "===> Bootstrapping nbmake"
tmpdir="${TMPDIR-/tmp}/nbbuild$$"
$runcmd mkdir "$tmpdir" || bomb "cannot mkdir: $tmpdir"
trap "cd /; rm -r -f \"$tmpdir\"" 0
$runcmd cd "$tmpdir"
$runcmd env CC="${HOST_CC-cc}" CPPFLAGS="${HOST_CPPFLAGS}" \
CFLAGS="${HOST_CFLAGS--O}" LDFLAGS="${HOST_LDFLAGS}" \
"$TOP/tools/make/configure" \
|| bomb "configure of nbmake failed"
$runcmd sh buildmake.sh || bomb "build of nbmake failed"
make="$tmpdir/nbmake"
$runcmd cd "$TOP"
$runcmd rm -f usr.bin/make/*.o usr.bin/make/lst.lib/*.o
fi
I did also look for the config.log under $TOP/tools/make/ but found
nothing.

Wanted to know if anyone else has come arcoss this, or may point me in a direction I have not yet traveled.
