Interesting.  I've never seen this behavior before.  Thanks for 
reporting it.

It looks like the SIGSEGV occurred in the "checking for time.h..." test.
I'd like to know what happens when that test is manually executed.
Would you please

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Copy the following script into the file "time-test":

#! /bin/sh
ac_ext=c
ac_cpp='/bin/cc -E'
echo "configure:4019: checking for time.h"
if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_header_$ac_safe'+set}'`\" = set"; then
  echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c"
else
  cat > conftest.$ac_ext <<EOF
#line 4024 "configure"
#include <time.h>
EOF
ac_try="$ac_cpp conftest.$ac_ext >/dev/null 2>conftest.out"
{ (eval echo configure:4029: \"$ac_try\"); (eval $ac_try); }
ac_err=`grep -v '^ *+' conftest.out | grep -v "^conftest.${ac_ext}\$"`
if test -z "$ac_err"; then
  rm -rf conftest*
  eval "ac_cv_header_$ac_safe=yes"
else
  echo "$ac_err"
  echo "configure: failed program was:"
  cat conftest.$ac_ext
  rm -rf conftest*
  eval "ac_cv_header_$ac_safe=no"
fi
rm -f conftest*
fi
if eval "test \"`echo '$ac_cv_header_'$ac_safe`\" = yes"; then
  echo "$ac_t""yes"
  found=yes
else
  echo "$ac_t""no"
found=no
fi

    3.  Set the execute-bit on the file.

    4.  Execute the file.  Redirect BOTH standard output and standard
        error SIMULTANEOUSLY to the file "time-test.log".

    5.  Send me the file "time-test.log".
