Hello Ian,

If I look to $build_dir/config.log,

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.64.  Invocation command line was
  $ ../configure --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-linux-gnu
--target=arm-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
--enable-plugins

While under $build_dir/opcodes/config.log

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.64.  Invocation command line was  $

This happens on a x86_64 machine. It did not happen on my laptop
(x86_32). I suspect it is either related to shell or autoconf version,
but I can't really find the issue.
