This is a complete shot in the dark, but are you perchance using Norton 
Anti-Virus? I came across a similar problem configuring xmlstarlet a 
couple of days ago. When it came to the configure line 'checking whether 
we are cross compiling...' Norton blocked 'conftest.exe' claiming it 
contained a trojan, and the configure exited in a similar fashion to 
what you described.

I managed to dodge the problem with an autoreconf; if that doesn't work, 
try disabling your anti-virus just while './configure' is running.

Dave.
