Try passing LDFLAGS to 'make' as well as, or instead of, configure. Builds ok on ppc here with this (i.e. passed to both), but I don't want to install it. Alexander has explained why LDFLAGS is needed on ppc, but why don't most source distros (e.g. gentoo) have to fart about like this ? Has something broken the configure, or did it only work (for ppc) in an _old_ version of gpm ?
