Ack!  Okay, while wiping egg off my face (and digging through
our CVS) I may have found my problem.  Over the 
last 2.5 years we've been using Autotools, it seems we've 
stepped up to new versions without upgrading all the 
ancillary files (like config.guess).  I'm gonna resynch 
all this stuff and try again.

Thanks, 

Gary
