[Bug-AUCTeX] auctex 11.85 configure hangs

[Rodney Sparapani]

Hi Gang:

Last week I moved to a new platform:  Solaris 10 on AMD64.  I've 
installed most of my favorite tools now, but I can't seem to get auctex 
to configure.  Here's what it looks like:

godzilla /usr/local/src/auctex/auctex-11.85 # ./configure 
--with-packagedir=/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages
checking for make... make
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking for date in ChangeLog... 2008-02-10
checking for release in ChangeLog... 11.85
checking for emacs... no
checking for xemacs... /usr/local/bin/xemacs
checking if /usr/local/bin/xemacs is XEmacs... yes
checking for XEmacs prefix... "/usr/local"
checking if XEmacs is recent enough... yes
checking for MULE support... yes
checking if build directory is valid... yes
checking where the package lisp files go... 
/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex
checking where the data files go... 
/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/auctex
checking where the info files go... 
/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/info
checking where automatically generated global style hooks go... 
${localstatedir}/auctex

And it just hangs there.  I've also tried setting --localstatedir=/var
and 11.84, but the results are the same.  Any ideas?  I'm using xemacs
21.5.28, Sun Studio 5.9, Blastwave, CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh, etc.
Not sure what else would be relevant...

Thanks,

Rodney
