I think the problem in the build was because configure didn't really work.
What kind OS was on your test machine?  I think the crux of the problem is in
the output from configure:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPU = powerpc64, OS = linux-gnu, Vendor = redhat, HostType = powerpc64
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Platform powerpc64 not yet supported

On the fedora9 ppc machine I tried I got:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPU = powerpc64, OS = linux-gnu, Vendor = redhat, HostType = powerpc
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, it is HostType=powerpc vs HostType=powerpc64.  On my machine I don't get
this configuration error.  

What does config.guess return on your machine?

On my Fedora9 ppc machine I get:
powerpc64-redhat-linux-gnu

which is the same thing I see in a RHEL5.2 ppc machine.

If you think that the configure script should be able to handle the
HostType=powerpc64, I can go ahead and patch the configure.in.

What does this mean by "couldn't check"? I was unable to do hardly any testing
on the fedora9 machine because I couldn't find compatible pieces like
binutils-devel since my machine is in ABAT.  I spent about a week some time ago
trying to get Fedora9-alpha installed from CDs on a ppc machine but never could
get it to work.

What is the naming issue?
