Ok, I just worked out the problem - or at least I discovered a workaround.  If 
I run:

	./configure --prefix=/usr/local [...]

then I get the error during compilation, but if instead I run

	./configure --prefix=/usr [...]

then it appears to work perfectly...!

No idea what's going on, but at least it works and hopefully it won't 
overwrite my existing compiler when I install it ;-)

Cheers,
Adam.
