Making sure you can build shared objects with ln.exe... ok
checking for ANSI C headers...

i have yet to be able to understand _why_ this is occurring...
Typical causes are buggy drivers or an O/S (kernel) bug.  My money is
on the former.  Try uninstalling any spyware or virus software you have
and see if the problem goes away.

tried that my friend. ClamAV is disabled and Spybot S&D (and the
resident) are stopped and killed.

I've also tried running sh -x configure and it still fails


Turning these things off is not enough.  You have to uninstall them.
Otherwise, they will still be active in the network stack.  Try
uninstalling them.  Also, there are other buggy hardware drivers.
Logitec webcams are one known culprit.  Unfortunately, you're
going to need to experiment to find out what driver on your system
is causing the problems you're seeing.

FWIW, I expect ClamAV isn't the culprit but that's just my WAG.  I
wouldn't let that dissuade you from including it in your experimentation.
