Roderick, if you can try this again, what happens if you hit Ctrl-D (or
whatever your EOF character is) at the point where it hangs?

I ran into a similar problem with the www/mozilla port configure, but I
didn't get a chance to investigate in much detail.  Basically, the
configure process stops at this point:

checking for .hidden assembler directive...

At this point it's trying to compile an assembler file.  Relevant
processes running at the time are (subject to linewrap):

tomcat:bmah% ps -auxww | grep root | grep conftest
root  15871  0.0  0.0   328  232  p3  S+    7:54AM   0:00.00 cc -c -O
-pipe conftest.s
root  15872  0.0  0.2  1052  900  p3  S+    7:54AM   0:00.00 /usr/bin/as
-o conftest.o conftest.s -

Note the as process with a trailing "-" argument.  I guessed that it was
for some reason waiting for something from stdin, so I typed the EOF
character on the keyboard and that allowed the as process to continue. 
Now I have a freshly recompiled mozilla, but I'm not sure why.  :-p


Bruce.
