I suppose it is okay to provide a fallback for config.guess to make sure
__powerpc64__ is really defined.  It shouldn't matter when CLN is compile
with GCC:

Anyways, could you please confirm that CLN works (i.e. passes make check)
when configured with --disable-static?  Looking through old email, I see a
patch from some guy at SuSE that patched CL_JUMP_TO in a way different to
yours.  I never bothered applying it, because the rest of that patch was
apparently incomplete and couldn't ever work.  If you can confirm that it
works I'll apply it upstream ASAP.
