It does not reach that point, the "unsupported machine type" message is
thrown by this earlier check (line 59)

# Guess the platform if not specified.
if test "x$with_platform" = x; then
  case "$target_cpu"-"$target_vendor" in
    i386-apple) platform=efi ;;
    i386-*) platform=pc ;;
    powerpc-*) platform=ieee1275 ;;
    sparc64-*) platform=ieee1275 ;;
    *) AC_MSG_ERROR([unsupported machine type]) ;;
  esac
else
  platform="$with_platform"
fi
