The build directory was empty, but I specified --enable-libgcj (to perform
the test Tom Tromey had suggested).
My current best guess is that this might be due to:
 2002年01月31日 Anthony Green <green@redhat.com>
 * configure: Rebuilt.
 * configure.in: Replace CHECK_SIZEOF and endian tests with
 cross-compiler friendly macros.
 * aclocal.m4 (AC_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF, AC_C_BIGENDIAN_CROSS): New
 macros.
