I saw this recently, I wish I could remember how I fixed it :/.

I looked back at the above log and it says:

checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
checking for ld used by g++... ld -m elf_i386
checking if the linker (ld -m elf_i386) is GNU ld... yes
checking whether the g++ linker (ld -m elf_i386) supports shared libraries... yes
checking for g++ option to produce PIC... -fPIC -DPIC
checking if g++ PIC flag -fPIC -DPIC works... yes

and the i386 references above show configure is off the rails before it
hits the fatal error.

Do you have the config.log file from the broken builds?

Cheers,

Richard
