Same on powerpc*-linux.

In looking at it briefly, I see several things wrong with the way libvtv is
configured.  Here is the guts of libvtv/configure.tgt:

case "${target}" in
  x86_64-*-linux* | i?86-*-linux*)
        VTV_SUPPORTED=yes
        ;;
  powerpc*-*-linux*)
        ;;
  sparc*-*-linux*)
        ;;
  arm*-*-linux*)
        ;;
  x86_64-*-darwin[1]* | i?86-*-darwin[1]*)
        VTV_SUPPORTED=no
        ;;
  *)
        UNSUPPORTED=1
        ;;
esac

In the two places that use this script (top level configure, and configure
within libvtv), they both run the .tgt script with . ./<file>,.  However, they
do no explicitly clear the UNSUPPORTED variable.  So perhaps you might have
some other script within the configure process use UNSUPPORTED, and it would
not get built for the system that supports it.

Then there is the problem that the two callers use different shell variables to
check whether the library is supported or not.  I tend to think the top level
configure should be changed to look at VTV_SUPPORTED and not UNSUPPORTED, and
that only the systems that it is know to work on should set the variable to
yes.

I.e.

case "${target}" in
  x86_64-*-linux* | i?86-*-linux*)
        VTV_SUPPORTED=yes
        unset UNSUPPORTED
        ;;
  *)
        VTV_SUPPORTED=no
        UNSUPPORTED=1
        ;;
esac

(remove the UNSUPPORTED lines if we change the top level configure).
