while I'm downloading/setting up ELDK on our Linux box, I think I have  
enough time for a small question :) why are you calling the configure  
script directly ?  If you use the klone2 framework this is not needed,  
what you need is a Makefile like this ($(CURDIR)/webapp is where your  
embfs contents are placed):

---
KLONE_VERSION = 2.0.0
MAKL_PLATFORM = linux-powerpc
WEBAPP_DIR = $(CURDIR)/webapp

include klapp.mk

klapp.mk: ; wget -O $@ -c http://koanlogic.com/klone/klapp-2.0.0.mk
---

and just invoke GNU make to drive the whole process.

ciao, t.

PS ELDK download continues :)
