OK.  I don't what the real problem is but I see where it's pointing.  Cf. http://www.xjmaas.nl/config_log.txt lines 5640-5643.  

If you scrape out the C code from lines 5648-5726 and try to build it using the command line on 5640, I wager you'll see an error.  Someone who understands iOS4 might be able to correct the gcc invocation options for you.  It seems to be having trouble finding glibc.  

The underlying problem might be the versions of autoconf & friends that generate the configure script.  I wouldn't be surprised, because they're old and iOS is new.  You might be better off using CVS to create a development tree, and generating your own configure script using newer autotools.  I'd be interested to hear if that works, because I'm in the process of upgrading myself.
