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.
