Bug in configure script for PPC64 machines

[Fuzzy Logic]

I left off the exports, and just did:

./configure --host=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
make
make check

and was successful.

So, on my PowerPC64, a build configured with:
./configure --build=none-unknown-linux-gnu works if the x86-fat patch is applied
./configure --host=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu works without any changes
./configure fails in make check (possibly for the reasons outlined by
Myria): the log of the ./configure output was previously attached.

Hopefully, this information will help.
