Configure takes the results of its investigations and creates a makefile
based on what it discovered.  It looks like it put its results into
`./confstathL1hTR/out', and is attempting to move that file into the src
directory as "Makefile".

If it can't do so, likely reasons are

1) the src directory exists but the permissions on it won't allow configure
to write to it

2) the src directory *doesn't* exist, and configure either has no provision
to create it, or does not have permission to make the directory under
whatever directory it happens to be in

We'd need to know more about your setup, like where you put the DB stuff
before you ran configure, to say much more.

And judging from the warnings, you'll have other problems, as you don't have
a gcc cross-compiler installed that configure can locate.  If you are trying
to build DB from source, the target processor is a Mororola 68K device.
Stock gcc under Linux on a Intel box generates code for Intel processors.
You need a version of GCC set up to generate Motorola code to get anywhere.
