I have Autoconf 2.61, I think that may be the trouble. You
must have an old distro.  I'm not interested in supporting
old stuff.  You should see if there is a package update for
autoconf available.

Here's where it fails.  It doesn't seem to understand it is a
cross-compile.

I have:

host='spu-unknown-elf'
host_alias='spu'
host_cpu='spu'
host_os='elf'
host_vendor='unknown'

You can try to use the archive I put here, and use the configure.
Don't run bootstrap or autoconf.  It might be enough.
