I think I remember seeing this before, but unfortunately can't remember what the solution was. Maybe it was something something messed up in the OS or in the build directory. Are you compiling from the tarballs? So it's the "configure" that fails? Also if you run "./config.guess" manually? What's the output if you run "bash -x ./config.guess"?
