I added the following to my rules file from his README and all is well.
# FOR AUTOCONF 2.52 AND NEWER ONLY
ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE), $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE))
  confflags += --build $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)
else
  confflags += --build $(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --host $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)
endif

I still dont understand what the problem was, config.[guess|sub] were
upto date, the same gcc was being used, configure resolved build and
host the same way, and it worked in testing.

There must be a bug in there somewhere.

(brain dump)

All is well.
