                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
it seems you have config.cache saved from older time or system, REMOVE IT !

read the first lines of config.cache:
    # This file is a shell script that caches the results of configure
    # tests run on this system so they can be shared between configure
    # scripts and configure runs.  It is not useful on other systems.
    # If it contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.

Ehud.

BTW. I use:
   configure --host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu --with-pop --with-x-toolkit=athena
and it works on both RH 8.0 and 7.3.
