You appear to have ELF support.  I'll try to use it for dynamic loading.
If dynamic loading doesn't work, read hints/linux.sh for further information.

You don't have an ELF gcc.  I will use dld if possible.  If you are
using a version of DLD earlier than 3.2.6, or don't have it at all, you
should probably upgrade. If you are forced to use 3.2.4, you should
uncomment a couple of lines in hints/linux.sh and restart Configure so
that shared libraries will be disallowed.

    # These empty values are so that Configure doesn't put in the
    # Linux ELF values.

    cccdlflags=' '
    ccflags="-DOVR_DBL_DIG=14 $ccflags"
    so='sa'
    dlext='o'
    nm_so_opt=' '
    ## If you are using DLD 3.2.4 which does not support shared libs,
    ## uncomment the next two lines:
    #ldflags="-static"
    #so='none'

	# In addition, on some systems there is a problem with perl and NDBM
	# which causes AnyDBM and NDBM_File to lock up. This is evidenced 
	# in the tests as AnyDBM just freezing.  Apparently, this only 
	# happens on a.out systems, so we disable NDBM for all a.out linux
	# systems.  If someone can suggest a more robust test
	#  that would be appreciated.

	# I tried compiling with DBM support and sure enough things locked up
	# just as advertised. Checking into it, I found that the lockup was
	# during the call to dbm_open. Not *in* dbm_open -- but between the call
	# to and the jump into.
	# 
	# To make a long story short, making sure that the *.a and *.sa pairs of
	#   /usr/lib/lib{m,db,gdbm}.{a,sa}
	# were perfectly in sync took care of it.
	#
	# This will generate a harmless Whoa There! message

Disabling ndbm.  This will generate a Whoa There message in Configure.
Read hints/linux.sh for further information.

  echo You appear to have a working bash. Good.

*********************** Warning! *********************
It would appear you have a defective bash shell installed. This is likely to
give you a failure of op/exec test #5 during the test phase of the build,
Upgrading to a recent version (1.14.4 or later) should fix the problem.
