This is a generic bug in many of the Configure scripts floating around -
it bites elm too. They look at several places for lib*.so.* files, sort
them *alphabeticaly* and take the last. This gives you libc.so.9.0
if you happen to have libc.so.9.0, libc.so.10.0, libc.so.11.0, libc.so.12.0
and libc.so.12.2.

I just deleted libc.so.9.0 and Configure was happy again.
