If 'configure' is in your current directory, you must type "./configure"
(preferred) or else have "." in your $PATH (not recommended). Otherwise,
you need to give the relative path... "../src/configure".

I don't know about 'lesstif', but its 'configure' may be using some
form of "gcc -print-prog-name=ld" to find 'ld'. If so, the output of
that command must be converted to a unix style pathname. If this is
the problem, you can either hardcode the path in 'configure' or look
at line 253 of 'Makefile.in' in the B20.1 winsup sources for a fix.
Use "gcc -print-search-dirs" to see where gcc is looking for 'ld'.

Hope this helps.
