Problems building expat port [long-ish]

[Lindsay Johnson]

I'm getting configure errors on a variety of 4.8/4.9 boxen while building 
expat (snipped output follows). I'm re-supping 'ports-all tag=.', have 
zapped the entire /usr/ports tree and tried several cvsup servers and am now 
at a loss. Can anyone offer me a hint as to what I'm missing / doing wrong?

Ta,

John

      Please report the problem to kuriyama at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and
      attach the "/usr/ports/textproc/expat2/work/expat-1.95.6/config.log"
      including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it 
might
      be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on 
your
      system (e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`).
