OK, this explains the first failure, but not the second.  The culprit
is:

cat >&5 <<_CSEOF

`sed 'h;s/./-/g;s/^.../## /;s/...$/ ##/;p;x;p;x' <<_ASBOX
## Running \$as_me. ##
_ASBOX`

This file was extended by GNU Autoconf $as_me 2.52c, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.52c.  Invocation command line was

  CONFIG_FILES    = $CONFIG_FILES
  CONFIG_HEADERS  = $CONFIG_HEADERS
  CONFIG_LINKS    = $CONFIG_LINKS
  CONFIG_COMMANDS = $CONFIG_COMMANDS
  $ $@
on `(hostname || uname -n) 2>/dev/null | sed 1q`

_CSEOF

You did spot the first error message, but not the second:

+ sed h;s/./-/g;s/^.../## /;s/...$/ ##/;p;x;p;x 
./config.status: /tmp/sh1286373: cannot open
+ sed 1q 
./config.status: /tmp/sh1286373: cannot open

can it be a consequence of the first one?

cat <<EOF
`cat<<eof
FOOBAR
eof
`
`echo toto`
EOF

and

cat <<EOF
`echo toto`
`cat<<eof
FOOBAR
eof
`
EOF

Thanks!
