 If ./configure is run on a PowerPC/Linux system then the -fPIC compiler
 flag is not set for building shared libraries.  This results in runtime
 errors from ld.so when loading those shared objects.

 PS configure also fails to detect the cpu of a Mac B/W G3 when passed
 --cpu=host.  Building with --cpu=g3 works fine.
