Thank you so much for finding that. I don't think I'd've found it on my own.

I've now replaced "-fast" by "-O2" in the makefile. Simplest solution 
and reasonably portable.

If I understood the autoconf shit (:-/) better I would repair that: 
from the log file you can clearly see that it compiles some test file 
with "-fast", and if that succeeds it accepts the option. It should 
actually run it.

Btw, elsewhere someone suggested doing "otool -h" on the executable. 
That gave me (with /usr/include/mach/machine.h) the information that 
the executable was for PowerPC 970.

Anyway. We're off and running. Thanks again!
