Why do you think this is a problem? Looks normal to me. Not everything configure tests will succeed. That's kind of the point of configure; to figure out what it can and can't do and what options/features/programs are available to it on the current system.

Did configure bail or complete successfully? If it bailed, post the output leading up to the bail.
