Doug and Tom,

I was trying to run configure on a DOS 8+3 box using djgpp port of bash.
Unfortunately, lynx configure script fails (while diffstat's configure
runs OK). Lynx INSTALLATION file doesn't bring a light on the subject,
it is a clean 2.8.5dev.11

<<<Here the config.log:>>>
configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure:673: checking host system type


<<<and the stderr output>>>

rmdir: `/dev/c/tools/djgpp/tmp/config-guess-7566': Permission denied (EACCES)
./config.guess: unable to guess system type
