x86 / glibc 2.2.3 / gcc-2.95.3
ppc / glibc 2.2.2 / gcc-2.95.3

I need to run autoconf, because I need to patch configure.in, to make it 
acceppt a system name of 'i386-conectiva-linux-gnu' which doesn't match the 
pattern 'i*86-pc-linux*'. So I have to modify this pattern. After this change
the makefiles notice that configure.in is newer than the Makefiles themselves,
so it runs autoconf :(

I could do a hack and changing the date of configure.in to the old value,
after I modified it.
