Build gets stuck on True64 V4.0f

[Boris Blankleider]

I have a problem building guile-1.4 on True64 V4.0f
After ./configure, make gets stuck. The last output of the build is:

mv -f .libs/debug.lo debug.o
(cd . && ln -s debug.o debug.lo)
PATH=.://bin:.:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin:
/usr/local/bin/X11:/opt/system/bin ./guile-doc-snarf dynl.c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-I.. 
-I./.. -I../libltdl  -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes dynl.c > dynl.x  || { rm 
dynl.x; false; }

and after that, nothing. Running top indicates that gawk is chewing up CPU time,
but after waiting for 1/2 hour, I killed it.

Any suggestions on what is going wrong? My computer is a Compaq DS10 and is
surely not that slow...

Boris.
