Description:
------------
I've been trying to build 4.3.10 on tru64 5.1b and several things are broken, so I've been trying to build from a daily snapshot for several days, grabbing the latest snapshot and trying it out. For several days now, the configure host type detection has been broken, at least on tru64. It can't guess the host type any more and just stops before doing anything.
I've been giving it the host type myself to allow it to proceed, and that works.
I searched the reported bugs for such an issue and couldn't find one, so here's mine.
More things are broken, but it's with some modules and extensions, so if I turn them off, I can compile the latest php completely, but basically all extra stuff has to be turned off, otherwise there are errors. (that may be a bug report for later)

And if that above command works, run this:

# /bin/sh -x configure

/bin/sh -x configure tries to display the help info and ends in this:

I was really interested in the whole output, so let's try this again:

#/bin/sh -x configure 2> debug.txt

And send debug.txt file to me via email.

!!!DO NOT add that huge file to this bug report!!!

I tried the latest stable CVS snapshot with all these systems without any problems:

HP Tru64 Unix 4.0g          AS1200 2@533MHz (ev56)        
HP Tru64 Unix 5.1b          DS20L 2@833MHz(ev68)          
HP Tru64 Unix 5.1b          DS20E 2@667MHz (ev67)         
HP Tru64 Unix 5.1b          ES40 4@833MHz (ev67)          
HP Tru64 Unix 5.1b          ES45 4@1GHz (ev68)            
HP Tru64 Unix 5.1b          ES47 2@1GHz (ev7)             

(these are the ones found at http://www.testdrive.hp.com/

Apparently the problem is fixed or you have something wrong
in your system.

I grabbed php4-STABLE-200503011530 and tried it again, the problem is still there.
To make sure nothing is wrong on that system, I still have php-4.3.2 build tree and I ran it again, it does guess the host type properly and no other configure based package that I've installed lately on that system has been exhibiting this behavior.
The snapshots were not doing this until around mid-february and they've been doing this ever since.
Something must've been changed that causes this.
