This is a complete shot in the dark, but are you perchance using Norton
Anti-Virus? I came across a similar problem configuring xmlstarlet a
couple of days ago. When it came to the configure line 'checking whether
we are cross compiling...' Norton blocked 'conftest.exe' claiming it
contained a trojan, and the configure exited in a similar fashion to
what you described.
I managed to dodge the problem with an autoreconf; if that doesn't work,
try disabling your anti-virus just while './configure' is running.
