Well, I can tell you that it's failing because:
1) The configure script looks for elf.h (we have it), and decides
we are SVR4.
2) The configure script adds '-lelf' to the list of libraries to
link with (we don't have it).
3) When the configure script tries to compile the test file that
determines whether or not we have rand{om}, it fails because
ld cannot find -lelf.
I have no idea what the right fix is.
Strangely, I find that if I execute 'configure' with `sh -x configure`,
it succeeds(!)... What do you make of that?
