-----

Old autoconf adds -little option to compile option. sh4 architecture can't
interpret this option. Therefore, this has build error.

Please update configure or apply attached patch.
This patch is a simple revision method to apply a patch to configure.
However, it is not a right workaround.

Best regards,
 Nobuhiro
