At first, I thought to think myself an idiot, but then I thought and 
thought and realize -- it wasn't obvious and I was lucky to figure it 
out. When I ran "sh configure", it failed because it couldn't find a 
"/tmp" directory. It occurred to me how the AmigaOS uses the assign 
command and did this:

mkdir tmp
assign tmp: tmp
sh configure

It is configuring now rather happily. g++ is notoriously slow on the 
Amiga, so I'm going to let it run for a while. That's not the fault of 
the Amiga but, instead, the build for the OS. The emulator I'm running 
is running full-speed and runs many programs faster than Windows XP. I 
have an Amiga 3000T coming soon to do testing on a real Amiga.

Pending compile...
