That's very strange, but I confirmed the behavior on my system.  Based  
on a lot of trial and error, it seems that --disable-jdbc-bundle  
triggers some autoconf bug such that subsequent tests fail.   To get  
things to build, I suggest you just run ./configure

I have put a workaround in configure.ac in svn trunk (adding an extra  
call to AC_CHECK_HEADERS before the test to see if jdbc is disabled  
seems to avoid the problem.
