Here is one more:

I start in Mac OS X on PowerPC this time in a tcsh based *shell*  
buffer (a *compilation* buffer is better) in GNU Emacs with

	./configure LDFLAGS="-dead_strip -L/usr/local/lib -L/sw/lib/ncurses - 
L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/sw/ 
include -I/usr/X11R6/include" CFLAGS="-ggdb -O -pipe -faltivec - 
maltivec -mabi=altivec -mcpu=7450 -no-cpp-precomp -fomit-frame- 
pointer -foptimize-register-move -fcprop-registers -frename-registers  
-freorder-blocks -fpeephole -mpowerpc-gfxopt -mpowerpc-gpopt"

and see then:

I don't mind that some configure scripts have their own idea how they  
are to be used, but I do mind that the rte configure takes some FLAGs  
from the outside environment and does not follow what I've set at  
starting the whole phase. And there needs to be done some work to  
avoid crashing conftest programmes! How can I trust something that  
regularly crashes? When the 'make check' step succeeds it only proves  
that at least one test is missing: the one that returns an error. Or  
this (from xindy-2.2-beta2/rte/clisp-2.33.2/src/libcharset/configure):

	checking the maximum length of command line arguments... expr:  
syntax error

This failure happens without taking it into account (now cited from  
make):

Configure, make and 'make check' with Fink went fine. That these  
steps cannot always be reproduced makes sure that this software is  
still experimental and not well adapted to PPC Mac OS X.


Trying configure again with

	env CONFIG_SHELL="/bin/bash -x" ./configure ...

to see what fails when trying to determine the maximum length of  
command line arguments, but this fails, too:

	+ echo 'LTLIBOBJS='\'''\'''
	+ echo
	+ test -n ''
	+ test -s confdefs.h
	+ cat
	+ echo
	+ sed '/^$/d' confdefs.h
	+ sort
	+ echo
	+ test 0 '!=' 0
	+ echo 'configure: exit 1'
	+ rm -f core '*.core'
	+ rm -rf 'conftest*' confdefs.h 'conf1350*'
	+ exit 1
	configure: error: /bin/bash -x './configure' failed for rte
