I don't have a clue as to why it thinks this is x86_64-unknown or
x86_64-pc

#> uname -a
Linux lunar 2.6.20.2 http://bugs.lunar-linux.org/view.php?id=1 SMP PREEMPT Wed
Mar 14 03:03:04 CDT 2007 x86_64

However:
#> uname -mpi 
x86_64 unknown unknown
might be a clue.

#> /usr/bin/libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.22 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06)
