Building RTEMS problem

What's about the environment variables? Can the problem be in them?
Now I'm nearly sure that I make an error in the ./configure options (see 
below)

I know, it was only a test.

Right.

No. (cfr below)

No, I use linux (Mandrake8.0 kernel2.4.3). This annoying spot is added by 
the webmail. I use hotmail (bleah!) because my university account is very 
poor and don't offer webmail at all.

><pathtortems>/configure --target=i386-rtems [further options]

This was (nearly) exactly what I've done before: the only difference was 
that I type:
<pathtortems>/configure i386-rtems [further options]

My further options are simply: --prefix=/opt/davide

So I retried with my previous configure options (and I obtained exactly the 
some error) and with your slight different ones (that should be equivalent, 
reading the ./configure --help)
This way it hangs at a different point, as you can see from the attached 
output of the
make all install
