I just tried this on SuSE Linux Enterprise 9 with an Athlon 64, building emacs-21.4a-2.5.0.src.rpm. The problem appears that the configure script at line 1643 recognizes amd64*-*-*, and at line 1635 recognizes ia64*-*-* while the host system type comes up with x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. It appears that some hacking is necessary on the configure file to get the right combination. I'm up to my a$$ in alligators now so don't have time to hack on this (and I'm a vi bigot not emacs :-).
