It looks like something's corrupted that file somehow. I *think* it'll
be replaced if you simply mv that file elsewhere and re-run the
configure script, but I'm not sure. I'd try that and if it doesn't work
just mv it back.

Failing that, could you cat the file and paste the output in reply,
please?
