It appears to be a strange behavior of the configure process. I wanted to install bash in a non-standard directory "/usr/cs" and dirent.h is located in /usr/include.
After setting: export CFLAGS="-I/usr/include" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include" I noticed that it insisted on adding: "-I/usr/cs/include" to the include statements. After I removed all of -I/usr/cs/include statements from the various makefiles, the compile worked. The one other thing I noticed is that even with --enable-static-link set, the Makefile still attempted to link to the shared .so libraries under INTL_LIB and LIBINTL . It was a simple fix to switch them to ".a".
