Is it the job of autoconf to set these host_ variables correctly? I 
downloaded and installed autoconf 2.61 but that didn't help. I still 
only get host_alias='spu'.

Unfortunately this didn't work either. :-(

I also tried to install Fedora 7, but with that I was only ever able to 
build 64-bit applications. So with that I wasn't even able to compile 
the IBM samples. I could not find a 32-bit glibc package that had 
stubs-32.h at all.

What distro are you running and testing against?
