./configure hangs at "Checking if TCP_NODELAY..."

[Taylor Jones <tj...@cadrc.calpoly.edu>]

When compiling, the configure command hangs at the the point shown 
below. This is a dual Opteron machine with 3 interfaces, two Broadcom 
NetXtreme BCM5704 10/100/1000 links and one Intel Etherpro 10/100. The 
only other peculiarity to the system are the virtual interfaces (7 
virtual interfaces tied to eth1). Any sugestions?

This can happen if you have firewall rules active which are dropping 
packets to or from the loopback interface on random ports.
