What's in "config.log"? That should tell you the last command that
failed, probably an invokation of ltconfig, a shell script? (I'm
guessing.) If you then repeat the command that failed, prefixed with
"bin/sh -x", it should get you even closer to the actual error.


The last command in /work/kdebase-1.1/config.log is
  "configure:1894: checking whether ln -s works"

I think that last command works fine.
It appears (to me) that its the invocation of ltconfig along with the
invalid configuration that appears to cause the error.

ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
