Hello,
I'm just guessing, but your system probably isn't i386 and configure
treat --build flag as cross-compilation. And probably cross compilation
cannot be combined with file detection (check autoconf documentation).
One solution is to remove --build flag if cross compilation is not
intention.

 I get the error beneath, can anyone help me solve this.
 ==============================================================
 checking whether CORBA ports are unique... yes
 checking for /usr/share/idl/fred//ccReg.idl... configure: error:
 cannot check for file existence when cross compiling
