I've posted the links to the output of the build process, and the output
of config.log, I can't see why it is failing or the nature of the failure,
all I can see is the final message about ia64:
Fixed:  unistd.h
Fixed:  wchar.h
Fixed:  widec.h
Newly fixed header:  ia64/sys/getppdp.h

There were fixinclude test FAILURES
gmake[2]: *** [check] Error 1

It is taking over 6 hours here.

Make install gave no errors at all.

I used the defaults, so it should end up in /usr/local, shouldn't it?
All my other GNU stuff is there.
