Hello,

autoconf fails for me with

    177: AC_C_BIGENDIAN  FAILED (semantics.at:478)

I am not sure it is worth the effort to get autoconf "clean" for Apple's universal builds. The whole autoconf philosophy is about checking header/library availability and system features. These will differ on different systems building the same code with the same options if there are differences in cputype etc. Apple suggests using their lipo tool to create universal binaries from multiple single architecture runs of configure and make.

It should be decided whether the effort is worth it before continuing to patch for this.
