I noted this too. The problem is that 'hostname' is returning a false return
value. 'configure' is trying to execute something like (hostname || uname -n)
to determine the hostname, and since 'hostname' returns a non-zero status,
uname -n is executed too.
Therefore, ensure that 'hostname' is not executed.

Dunno about this one, but if memory doesn't fail me sed was broken by libc4.2.
Check how the Makefile comes out, and you might be able to spot the fault.
