Well damn, after the reboot the problem seems to have disappeared, 
configure runs cleanly start to finish. (A colleague of mine requested 
the reboot, to clear up some "linker path problem" which suggests to me

slibclean wouldn't have done the trick, but it didn't occur to me to ask 
for more details at the time.)

At this point, it just looks like a corrupted <something>. Sorry for the
