OtpR8B loops on configure

[Vance Shipley]

Bruce,

I just ran into this last night.  The weird thing is that I've
built on this machine before, I have R8B-0 installed on it.  I
was just doing configure to change the prefix and install into
another directory (embedded user).

I was intending to try a fresh source tree today.
