Following is more information on the configure hang

21485 pts/1    S+     0:00  |           \_ tee config.out
<snip>

Note that the hang is in running sed on subs-3.sed in the temporary
directory created during the configure run. This temp directory will
disappear unless -d is included in the arguments.

The created scripts config.status and subs-3.sed are attached.
(Note, subs-3.sed unattached because this email would be too big..
I think it is generated by config.status)

Need some assistance here.
