Just fixed a similar problem. The answer(for me) was in the config.log. It wasn't flagged as an error just a line saying "/usr/local/include not a dir". At which point output simply stopped without a whimper. Sure enough 'include' was a file containing an include file with a different name--there never was a /usr/local/include dir. Once that was sorted all was serene :)
