 Please provide the version of pango1.0 you're reporting against!

 I just built it fine, did you ran aclocal and/or autoconf?  I see no
 reason why "./configure" would fail on your system if you didn't run
 autoconf.

 I can't reproduce that.  Or perhaps it is regenerated and I don't have
 another problem which is only visible on your host (missing m4 macro,
 missing package...)?

 Timestamp skews?

 Please try diagnosing further, or try with 1.10, which doesn't seem to
 suffer from this.
