With some help on irc from kito and grobian I was able to progress
beyond configure being stuck.

It was caused by environment issues. (Using strace and grepping for
"access" proved very fruitful to find the missing files. A simple
symlink seemed to solve these issues).

Now on to the next problem, configure being confused. I've installed
gcc with toolsbox, yet somehow the it isn't being found....
Here's a line from configure:
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... no

strace is also showing that configure is looking for a few files and
not finding them:
.... [filtered strace output]
access("/data1/portage/dec21/prefix/toolsbox-4-patchespre.20051221/i686-pc-linux-gnu//usr/etc/config.site",
R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/data1/portage/dec21/prefix/toolsbox-4-patchespre.20051221/i686-pc-linux-gnu//usr/share/config.site",
R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I'm attaching my latest build script in case anyone is interested.

Any hints, send them my way.

thanks

matt
