Yes, and it just didn't find the headers anyway.

It seems that it misses the conftest.c file. While doing the initial 
checks, it can find the headers:
[...]
configure:2146: checking for limits.h
configure:2156: gcc -E  conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
configure:2146: checking for locale.h
configure:2156: gcc -E  conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
configure:2146: checking for nl_types.h
configure:2156: gcc -E  conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
configure:2146: checking for malloc.h
[...]


But then something goes wrong and this is what I get:

configure:3885: checking for X11/xpm.h
configure:3895: gcc -E  -I conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
gcc: No input files
configure: failed program was:

/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char socket();

int main() {
socket()
; return 0; }
configure:4148: checking for grantpt
configure:4176: gcc -o conftest -O2 -Wall  -I  conftest.c  1>&5

configure: failed program was:
#line 4153 "configure"

    which can conflict with char grantpt(); below.  */
#include <assert.h>
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char grantpt();

int main() {

/* The GNU C library defines this for functions which it implements
    to always fail with ENOSYS.  Some functions are actually named
    something starting with __ and the normal name is an alias.  */
#if defined (__stub_grantpt) || defined (__stub___grantpt)
choke me
#else
grantpt();
#endif

; return 0; }
configure:4259: gcc -c -O2 -Wall  -I conftest.c 1>&5
gcc: No input files
configure: failed program was:
#line 4250 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500
                 #include <sys/types.h>
                 #include <sys/socket.h>
int main() {
struct msghdr msg; msg.msg_control;
; return 0; }
configure:4273: checking for ANSI C header files
configure:4377: checking for sys/wait.h that is POSIX.1 compatible
configure:4398: gcc -c -O2 -Wall  -I conftest.c 1>&5
gcc: No input files
[...]

And so on, stating "No input files" for all the subsequent tests run by 
configure.



Erm, errata corrige: looks like I found out where the problem was. 
Something in the build system is a bit messy and it got stuck when it 
found only a part of the X libraries. Running configure with the 
--without-x option make it found all the headers it needed, without 
complaining about "no input files" anymore.

Going to play with my 6210 now ;)

Thanks!
