Apparently the ebuild is responsible for this:

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
        cd "${S}"

        sed -i \
                -e 's|sh ./configure.*|/usr/bin/true|' \
                src/xercesc/runConfigure || die "sed failed"

Ive  removed  the  true  part  from  the  ebuild  and  it  seems  to  compile, 
not  sure  what  that  does  though

@Billy: It's not an arch-issue. Seems that I had a stalled symlink from
/usr/bin/true to /bin/true and it seems you have that one too on one of your
machines.
Removing the part results in ./configure being run twice, not really usefull
but it doesn't hurt either.
Anyway, should be solved now. Thanks.

If it still doesn't work for you, you need to come with something better than
"I have synced and nothing is fixed".

@dev-zero - sorry for the noise.
