The config.log contains this log-message:

[..]
  $ /export/home/davek/sparrow/atlc-4.3.1/configure --host=sparrow
[..]

The --host=sparrow is the culprit for your problem.

--host is not meant to take the name of an indiviual host, but to take
the canonicalization-triple of you host-system iff cross compiling

[E.g. if cross compiling for an i386-pc-linux-gnu system, you want to
use something similar to this:
./configure --build=`./config.guess` --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu]

autoconf/configure is correct in searching for sparrow-<tool>, because
you told your the configure script to do so.

Just removing the --host from your call to configure above should do
what you want.
