Re: Fishy build system: make_exports.pl called on darwin?

You're making a lot of terrible assumptions and drawing several  
incorrect conclusions. xnu-792 is not the same as "darwin7.9.2", and  
no configure script in the last 6 years should be detecting a Mac OS  
X system as "ppc-apple-darwin" (it should be "powerpc-apple-darwin").

What is the output of
% uname -r
% type uname
% /usr/share/libtool/config.guess

If you have GNU coreutils installed, something bad may be happening.
