Compilation dies on both sparc and ~sparc systems for me with the following;

if sparc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -mcpu=ultrasparc -O2 -pipe  -Wall -DREVISION=\"2005-04-05T20:31\" -pthread     -MT condition.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/condition.Tpo" -c -o condition.o condition.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/condition.Tpo" ".deps/condition.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/condition.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
In file included from condition.c:15:

For me (ppc) it fails with access violations:
ACCESS DENIED  open_wr:   /usr/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/pavuk.mo
/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/pavuk.mo': Permission denied
...

Hi,

same error here on two ~x86 machines:

open_wr:   /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/pavuk.mo
