./configure is a great tool in that it does a whole lot of useful stuff.
 However it gets pretty big and its output file (config.log) also gets
big, which oftem makes it hard to figure out what has gone wrong.

Look in config.log at the lines before all those #define statements.  In
particular look (from end of the file towards its beginning) for error
messages.  Those messages (and the related lines before and after them)
are where the desired info is.
