I still have no idea what's going on in your case (and I guess the bug
you observe is different from the one on AIX). So I have a few further
questions.
What is
/bin/bash --version
echo $PATH
type mkdir expr dirname basename
dirname is apparently the issue. I had an old dirname shell script
lying around from 1989 in my path (version 1.5). It worked well enough
for the old 2.59 configure, but not for the new one which seems to
use a new construction "dirname -- ..."
I moved away the shell script, so now gnu dirname is available, and
then the new configure works fine, and 5.96 builds, even passes most
tests.

1 of 21 tests failed
(3 tests were not run)
Sorry to bother you with a local environment problem.
Thanks for the help,
