When I build beast, the configure stage outputs some escape sequences:

checking whether i386-linux-gcc supports -fno-keep-static-consts... yes
^[(B^[)0^[[?1049h^[[1;24r^[[m^O^[[4l^[[?7h^[[24;1H^[[?1049l^M^[[?1l^[>checking

At least with konsole, this causes the terminal to update only the
bottom line as the rest of the compilation happens, which is pretty
annoying.

this sounds like a bug in your konsole setup then. configure.in simply 
executes:
                                    #include <stdio.h>
                                    #include <curses.h>
                                    int main()
                                    {
                                        FILE *f=fopen("conftestval", "w");
                                        int c;
                                        if (!f) exit(1);
                                        initscr();
                                        c = COLS;
                                        endwin();
                                        fprintf(f, "%d\n",c);
                                        exit(0);
                                    }
so any characters appearing are being put out by ncurses.
that in turn uses escape sequences from the terminal description of
your TERM environment variable which should match the capability set
of konsole.
