While cleaning up my open bugs in the bug db, I came across this entry:
Configure currently creates two temporary files in /tmp. They can easily
be done in the current working directory. This patch moves them. I sure
hope no one is running Configure as root. (The patch is contained in the
original bug report, this is just repackaging it for metaconfig to make it
easier to apply. It applies to Configure also.)

OOPS! You naughty creature! You didn't run Configure with sh!
I will attempt to remedy the situation by running sh for you...
