Hello Paul and thanks for the reply
I was more looking for a hint about what went wrong. If I use GNU gcc
(Interix version 3.3), configure succeed this passage and it looks like
this:
...
checking for getloadavg... (cached) no
checking for pstat_getdynamic... (cached) no checking for kstat_open in
-lkstat... (cached) no checking for elf_begin in -lelf... (cached) no
checking for kvm_open in -lkvm... (cached) no checking for getloadavg in
-lutil... (cached) no checking for getloadavg in -lgetloadavg... (cached) no
checking for getloadavg... (cached) no ...
but when configure is about to finish and write the makefiles I get the same
problem as Sam Johnston:
...
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
sed: Cannot allocate memory
config.status: creating doc/Makefile
sed: Cannot allocate memory
...
It seems to me (but now I'm only guessing) that the script is suffering from
buffer overruns.

Copyright? From who?

Well, configure scripts at this scale is really beyond me, as you probably
already figured out. Hopefully someone at the /tools community
<http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/default.aspx> do have the skill.
I'll try my luck with the cvs source.
