I think that does not help here... The configure script is executed in a
new shell which sources the user's .bashrc (as /bin/sh is bash).
Therefore CLICOLOR=1 is in the environment there.

I really don't understand why autotools is relying on `ls` in the shell
here and not using `which ls` to avoid aliases. I tried to reproduce the
problem with CLICOLOR=1 in my .bashrc, but this alone did not cause any
error. Did you alias ls to something?
