Surely the configure script created more output than that?
So, at what point did this happen, and could you insert `set -x'/`set +x' 
well above resp. below that and rerun, and show output (packed if large)?

Could you point us to the configure.ac in question (exact version, I
guess I do know which one in general you're talking about)?

Also, please show `./config.guess', thanks -- SunOS is too vague for me.
