I don't think it's the editor (UltraEdit), but the email client (Eudora).
I noticed some 0xA0 bytes floating around, but not any 0x240 (odd--were you
comparing wide chars, unicode, or something like that?).  Anyway, that's
something I'll watch for in the future.  Sorry.

Got some.
The end of the expr.log file, after the build_alias error:

expr x--with-target-subdir=m68k-rtems : x[^=]*=\(.*\) result m68k-rtems
status 0
expr x--with-target-subdir=m68k-rtems : x-*with-\([^=]*\) result
target-subdir status 0
expr xtarget-subdir :
.*[^-_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789]
result 0 status !0
expr x--exec-prefix=/opt/rtems-4.6/m68k-rtems : x[^=]*=\(.*\) result
/opt/rtems-4.6/m68k-rtems status 0
expr xbuild_alias=i686-pc-cygwin : x[^=]*=\(.*\) result i686-pc-cygwin
status 0
expr xbuild_alias=i686-pc-cygwin : x\([^=]*\)= result build_alias status 0

And the tail of the make output:

++ expr xbuild_alias=i686-pc-cygwin : 'x[^=]*=\(.*\)'
+ ac_optarg=i686-pc-cygwin
++ expr xbuild_alias=i686-pc-cygwin : 'x\([^=]*\)='
+ ac_envvar=build_alias
+ strace -o /tmp/strace_03.log expr xbuild_alias :
'.*[^_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789]'
+ echo 'configure: error: invalid variable name: build_alias'
configure: error: invalid variable name: build_alias
+ exit 1
+ exit 1
configure: error: /bin/bash
'../../../../../rtems-4.6.1/c/src/../../cpukit/configure' failed for

Odd that the strace'd expr call didn't get logged.  I'll run it through
again with the strace call removed from cpukit/configure.
