Not really :-(

Have you tried a complete clean and rebuild ?

It sounds like the configure files might have been generated from the 
configure.in files in a way that is somehow inconsistent or incompatible 
with your environment.  Perhaps if you tried regenerating them by hand 
you might be able to fix things ?

Cheers
