heh :)

but this is really weird, look here:

des at dwp /usr/src/crypto/openssh% ./configure
./configure.lineno: 5: Bad file descriptor
./configure.lineno: 988: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution
des at dwp /via/usr/src/crypto/openssh% ./configure
./configure.lineno: 5: Bad file descriptor
./configure.lineno: 988: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution

which is just what you are experiencing.

but if I chroot into /via (which is the root of the filesystem I
export to my diskless test box):

des at dwp /usr/src/crypto/openssh% ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
[...]

and it succeeds.

however, if on the test box (same filesystem, just over NFS):

des at via /usr/src/crypto/openssh% ./configure
./configure.lineno: 5: Bad file descriptor
./configure.lineno: 988: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution

DES
