Comment (by ballapete):

 The last tests in `config.log` are:

 {{{
 configure:66234: $? = 0
 configure:66234: result: yes
 configure:66258: checking for nettle_siv_cmac_aes128_set_key

 }}}

 then follows the section of:

 {{{
 ## ---------------- ##
 ## Cache variables. ##
 ## ---------------- ##
 }}}

 Presumingly these are the corresponding lines in the `configure` script:

 The problem seems to be that `configure` checks for `.so` files. On Mac OS
 X they use the extension `.dylib`…
