The only info in config.log is:

configure: exit 77

The relevant bit failing is the invocation of the compiler to find the
extension (suffix) of the executable, that is (extract from configure):

----8<---
cat confdefs.h - <<_ACEOF >conftest.$ac_ext
/* end confdefs.h.  */

Since this is this configure, produced by pkgsrc, that I run directly,
except the way it is invoked (and the directory), I fail to grab what
may be causing the problem---unless the environment set by make(1), with
the numerous utilities set by macros, replace a default working by a not
working one.
