I can reproduce that failures. That is when try to follow the cblfs books
instructions. I dont know how they did the install - it simply fails as
you described.
For a quick fix install the iasl just right after it has been built and
than make a 'make clean'. Than continue with their instructions. So it is
something like
# Build the compiler
cd compiler &&
make &&
install -m755 -v iasl /usr/bin/ &&
make clean &&
cd .. &&
# Build the tools
cd tools/acpisrc &&
make &&
cd ../acpixtract &&
make &&
cd ../acpiexec &&
make &&
cd ../../ &&
install -m755 -v
tools/{acpisrc/acpisrc,acpixtract/acpixtract,acpiexec/acpiexec}
/usr/bin

This is quite interesting. I never saw any configure screens at all. How
do they look like? Is that some kind of GUI or is that text mode? Do you
think you can take a screenshot or something?

Huuhhh, kinda stealth config, eh?? ;-)

At least the built of VirtualBox is satisfied when iasl can be found. I
do not know whether the other tools are required by VirtualBox too. That
all is to be checked.
If you have any further findings on this, I'd be happy if you could tell
me. I than can integrate the infos in the blfs pages.
