Autoconf

[Marco Gerards]

Hi,

Either I missed some commit and the instructions how to build on the
AMD64.  Below I included the config.log output.  As you can see it
tries to compile the test for the target machine and it uses glibc.  I
think we have to disable the use of glibc for these autoconf tests.
But I am asking to make sure I am not wasting a lot of time by doing
the wrong thing.

Thanks,
Marco
