It has not been possible to use the original 1.3.1 configtool with
anoncvs for a long time. I suspect the specific change referred to
here was in libcdl:

    2000-06-22  Bart Veer  <bartv@redhat.com>

	* value.cxx, interface.cxx:
	Allow the flavor property to be used on interfaces. booldata
	interfaces allow the use of #ifdef to determine whether or not
	a feature is available. Clean up some of the value stuff to match,
	especially when it comes to savefiles.

That is why on http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/anoncvs.html there is
a section on host configuration tools, telling people to update to a
more recent version such as 1.3.1.2

    >> And 1.3.1.2 both hangs on "Build library" and crashes (illegal

That is a separate problem.
