Well, I did not investigate much, but config.guess would report
unknown-apple-darwin6.0, and packages like nut would then report
checking host system type... Invalid configuration
`unknown-apple-darwin6.0': machine `unknown-apple' not recognized
(this is not a fatal error in nut, but for some packages getting the
wrong config.guess signature is a fatal error. Unfortunately, I do
not have the compile logs available any more.)
If 'uname -p' instead returns 'powerpc', config.guess reports
checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin6.0
And the configure script is happy.

This problem is uname, not config.guess. There might be problems with
config.guess, but in my case using the native uname instead of the GNU
version solved my problem.
