    That&#39;s just part of porting to an unsupported architecture in an "autotools/autoconfig" based example. You&#39;re responsible for either modifying the configure.in (or something like that) or, if you&#39;re lucky...just adding the appropriate architecture/toolchain stuff in config.sub (config.sub.in).

    Initially, you might be able to get it to work just hacking the "configure" script, but you ought to be modifying the ".in" scripts...eventually.
