Cobalt?  Cobalt??  Whatever...
Try reporting things from a little earlier; you might know better than
what I (or anybody else) might assume, but we can't be sure.

Specify URL of the .tgz file you downloaded.
Copy-paste the commands you entered (skip obviously dumb output, if for
example you use the v flag when extracting files) and their output.

The "This file was extended by..." does not sound very familiar, but
it's possible I never noticed it in configure's output.
