^^-- this is really bad form - you should never build/compile software  
as root. The location of the build directory is irrelevant so use /tmp  
or you home or something like that ... (usualy the fastest disk ;))

Why would you do all that? It should work if you do just make && make  
install on the subsequent archs. Note that docs etc. are all shared so  
it's sufficient to build them in the first arch.

Cheers,
Simon

PS: the config.log entry you sent is entirely irrelevant - it's header  
handling test
