To quote a warning message that _should_ have been displayed during the
configure process, that you probably missed:

"Warning: it would appear you have a defective bash shell installed. This is
likely to give you a failure of op/exec test #5 during the test phase of the
build, Upgrading to a recent version (1.14.4 or later) should fix the
problem."

If this isn't the problem, I'd love to find out what is.
