I have the same problem with a 28.2.(yesterday) -CURRENT.

Doing a make gives me this behaviour:

Configuring TIFF Software v3.6.1

If configure does the wrong thing, check the file config.log for
information that may help you understand what went wrong.

Reading site-wide parameters from ./config.site.
Do they really still make i386-unknown-freebsd5.2 systems?!
<HANGING>

To see where the problem is I did a sh -x configure:

...
+ test -z 
+ test -z 
+ [ -z  ]
+ test -f ./config.guess
+ sh ./config.guess
<HANGING>

Running the config.guess script alone shows no errors:

area51# sh config.guess
i386-unknown-freebsd5.2

Seems it only happens when called from configure, so I set the TARGET
variable in the configure script to the fixed string, config.guess is
returning, with this it runs a little further but also fails:

+ ISGCC=yes
+ [ -z  ]
+ rm -f dummy dummy.o
+ capture gcc -o dummy dummy.c
<HANGING>

Maybe these informations can help to track this down...
