I tried both ways, my way and yours i.e. setting them as env variables and
it still gets that error. Also found some other stuff on the net related to
that in different context but none of those work for me. Some where in some
old debian archives there's some mention of the Boost libraries and the flag
that must be used on Sparc with Boost libraries. Although it also says that
it was fixed in some later release which was back in 2008, so am assuming
that fix is still in place in Squeeze.

Ok, if that doesn't help then another interesting insight is that in
config.log, it says that the response to 'arch' and 'arch -k' commands is
'unknown'. Don't know if that helps.

Possibly :) although I have found that there's not a lot of activity in that
list on a regular basis. So not sure if my problem will get resolved there
or not :(
