Hi again,

I recently posted about not getting a right configuration script using 
the bootstrap.sh.
After updating 'autoconf' 'automake' and 'libtool'. It generates a 
script.

But there are some strange things in this script.

First the Architecture Test:

If the Architecture Test detects a powerpc, the architecutre variable 
is set to 'GENERIC'?
So the later test...

if test "$ARCHITECTURE" = "PPC" ; then

... will never succed (if it is really a powerpc then the variable's 
value is generic).

The altivec test fails, too.
  I have no idea what the script does so I can't even guess what the 
problem could be.

Does anyone have an idea what this test does and why the architecture 
test behaves like this?

Regards
Christoph
