lynx-dev Lynx cannot be installed from RPM on MkLinux DR3

I wanted to install lynx in my system ( Linux localhost.localdomain 
2.0.37-osfmach3
 (GENERIC #7) ENLEVEL #50 Wed Mar 3 22:00:33 CST 1999 ppc unknown )

using command 

rpm --rebuild lynx-2.8-1.src.rpm

The command failed, for the following reason: could not guess the host type.
I examined the file config.guess and I suggest the following patch:

(rcsdiff /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lynx2-8-1/config.guess)
===================================================================
RCS file: /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lynx2-8-1/RCS/config.guess,v
retrieving revision 2.8
diff -r2.8 /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lynx2-8-1/config.guess
517c517
<         elf32ppc)   echo "powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu"              ; exit -1 ;;
---
>         elf32ppc*)  echo "powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu"              ; exit -1 ;;

I had to add this asterisk because the default emulation of my link designer is 
elf32ppclinux. 

Besides, my compiler gcc version 2.95.2 19990906 (prerelease) caused the system 
to bust
when compiling the file src/LYMainLoop.c because it consumed all available 
memory (60MB).
I had to disable optimization for that file.

I have a question: now that I installed Lynx, how can I correct and install the 
package to rpm?
Because lynx is installed but rpm does not know about it. I cannot perform the 
installation 
using rpm because my correction would be replaced.

My connection to Internet is dialup, so please reply to 
address@hidden (Christopher Conrade Zseleghovski).
