    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.
