Feel free to discuss this with the maintainers of config.guess.

Well, of course this works, but it is not an option when I use the
same compile script to compile the program on 9 different
architectures. I would rather fix the auto-detection.

The problem occurs with the latest config.guess. It only occurs if
GNU uname is first in the PATH. If I make sure /usr/bin/uname is
first in the path, the output from config.guess is correct.
I do not understand why you insist there must be something else wrong.
Is it so hard to make GNU uname return 'powerpc' instead of 'unknown'
as the hardware type on Darwin?
