[parisc-linux] Compiling source packages

Some source packages have old versions of the file config.guess which
can cause this type of problem.  When you configure, use "--host=hppa-linux".
More package recognize this.  If this doesn't work, you can replace
config.guess with a newer version (e.g., from gcc) and hope this works.
