It's a long-standing bug in newer autoconf, even though the naked stating 
of 'ppc-redhat-linux' is supposed to be backwards compatible, it isn't.

The closest possible emulation is "--host=ppc-redhat-linux 
--build=ppc-redhat-linux --program-prefix=''", but that still lacks the 
setting of $target_alias without triggering a cross-compile.
