  Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I've been on the road at a
customer site.

  You shouldn't need either --srcdir, or a host type. Configure usually
figures that out for you.

  This means it can't find a working compiler.

  These are C++ header files. I wouldn't be that worried about unit.cc, it's
only a test case for DejaGnu itself. To me it looks like your compiler didn't
build right, or isn't installed correctly.
