A typical ressource of errors with 'configure' stuff is the fact that
on certain systems /bin/sh is, contradictory to widely assumption, not
necessarily a BASH. Many of the shell scripts that are distributed
nowadays actually rely on /bin/sh to conform with the BASH syntax when
it comes to handle variable contents - actually 'configure' nothing but
such a shell script.
You could try to investigate if this is actually the case here.
