It's not giving any indication why because you're running in silent
mode.  If you didn't have the '-s', you would have seen the contents of
UU/try.msg.

Of course, such a failure is certainly 'essential information' of the type
that Configure -s certainly ought to put out, so Configure probably ought
to have the following patch applied:
