Thanks, Jerry,
Mind if I forward this to the list?

Thus spake Jerry DeLapp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
When I was beating my head against 3.4.x builds, this sort of error message
was almost always caused by a delta between SI source tarballs and installed
development packages. That is, source configure scripts quite often
mistakenly go out and grab bits from the host system distro, even when you
try and tell it to use the SI source trees. I found it more useful to
*remove* -devel packages from the build host in order to better detect the
myriad number of places this was happening. Since SI uses source for
everything in the boot image, I think that a "discovery" that you need to
add a -devel package which is the same as a source tarball indicates that
you are going outside the build tree for something.
In this case, however, I think the big problem is the first error message.
I got this sort of foo until I created an empty config.inc file.

Subject: [Sisuite-devel] Building on Red Hat
So,
After a nice long hiatus, I once again have a Red Hat build system
installed in my lab. I'd like to use it to be sure that things build
properly on Red Hat as well as on Debian/Ubuntu, where I do my primary
development.
And, as many of you do SystemImager builds on Red Hat machines, rather
than try and re-solve problems that I run into, I'm going to post them
here, expecting that one of you will have already solved them.
As such, I've encountered my first problem, and Bernard pointed out what
is at least a partial solution: build dependencies. I got them from
the BuildRequires bit in the spec file, and have installed them all.
I am now getting the following, which is hopefully just a missing build
requirement. This is an old ia64 box running RHEL 4 ES:
$ make
Makefile:107: config.inc: No such file or directory
./configure

See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** [config.inc] Error 77
