 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 ?

 Google found a talinux patch in their CVS which might sort this for
you:
