I can even run the binaries but nothing seems to happen when I move data into the mounted lessfs (for example database never grows at all no matter how much random data I copy into the lessfs mount).  I think these problems go back to hamsterdb and the configure failure.  I am going to try with BDB and see if I get a better result.

It does appear to find header files for hamsterdb. However, looking
at your config.log (starting line 1184), it appears that a test for a
particular hamsterdb function fails. That suggests to me that the
version of hamsterdb that lessfs requires is different from the
version it is finding.
