I seem to be having this same problem.  I tried this patch, however,
and it wouldn't work.  I even tried applying it by hand, its being
small enough.

Anyhow, when I build I get this:

make[4]: Entering directory `/opt/erlang.build/otp_src_R7B-0/lib/erl_interface/src'
gcc -g -O2 -I/opt/erlang.build/otp_src_R7B-0/erts/autoconf/i686-pc-linux-gnu  -fPIC -Wall -O2 -DDEBUG_DIST -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -DUSE_DNS -DEPMD_PORT=4369 -c erl_connect.c -o /opt/erlang.build/otp_src_R7B-0/lib/erl_interface/obj/i686-pc-linux-gnu/erl_connect.o

Obviously something is going wrong.
