Assuming you were referring to POSIX named semaphores, I have been able
to recreate the described error by running configure twice.

Indeed in the sem_open test, the created semaphore is not unlinked,
hence the next time the test is run the call to:
  sem_open ("ace_semaphore_foo", O_CREAT | O_EXCL, 0600, 1);
fails because the named semaphore already exist.

The attached patch unlinks the created semaphore if everything goes
fine. It can be applied to the 5.5.10 version or the SVN repo (as of
r79302).

Regards,

Thomas
