Yes, but people who just skim through that page may just see that
‘powerpc-linux’ is listed, without noticing that there’s a sentence ten
line above that says “The following arches are not supported”. Having
“unsupported” next to it should avoid that (yes, I’ve learned to be
super cautious. :-)).

True. In that case, let it go without ‘--with-courage’ but emit a
warning with AC_MSG_WARN that points to the relevant section of the
manual.
Deal?
Thanks!
