For some strange reason if I do that strace it succeeds a little further and
creates a configure, which later fails after all with a

config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in

Complete output can be found at:

<http://dev.gentoo.org/~hkbst/guilenostrace2108.output>
<http://dev.gentoo.org/~hkbst/guilestrace2108.output>

Please excuse the few Gentoo-specific pieces of output.

I am using a gnulib build from the live repository. The one on the logs is
only a few days old, but todays version doesn't fix the problem. The version
it reports:

/usr/share/gnulib/gnulib-tool (GNU gnulib) 2007-07-23

is a lie.
