automake is missing proper armv4l support in config.sub. Possibly in config.guess as well. Scott Bambrough from Corel Computer has a patch which addresses config.sub
Could you add/send Scott Bambrough's patch? Thanks ...
His patch did not apply cleanly, so I did it by hand, and sent it in. Should be there now. Take a look at it. I think it is correct. Not certain if config.guess needs to be modified as well.
while the official arm port by us has been dropped for 6.0, I have rolled this patch into automake-1.4-4 and higher.
