Hmm... This is only a guess but if it is finding javac it must be seeing 
an installation of your Sun jdk. You may have to pass some special 
configurations to ./configure to ignore anything java related, and not 
to look for FreeTTS which it is probably doing after looking for javac 
then hanging.

Have you tried running test-speech that comes with gnome-speech? That 
tool would help you resolve any driver related issues with festival. If 
test-speech can't see festival and then orca wouldn't either. Likewise 
if it sees it orca should see it as well.
