That's weird.  Text file busy is an error message generated under
circumstances when one attempts to write to an executable that is
currently being executed.

Could you try executing configure with --verbose or --extra-verbose to
determine where configure is dying?

As a last resort you could consider upgrading.  Linux 2.0.29 & latest
libc-5.4 works quite well for me.
