I have mentioned this problem on the mailing list already in 2006;
on exactly the same machine running Debian for PowerPC, so it
may ring a bell.  Aaron Newcomb ran into the same error a while
ago, but on a different platform I guess.

When I try to build the latest Cinelerra (revision 1056) on a PowerPC
Mac mini running Debian Lenny (testing), the configure script aborts
with the error

./configure: line 23421: syntax error near unexpected token `MJPEG,'
`PKG_CHECK_MODULES(MJPEG,mjpegtools,mjpegtools=yes,:)'

This is the first line of pkg-config directives in the ./configure file.

On my Core2Duo laptop running Debian Etch (stable) the build went
fine.  Comparing the two configure files (thanks SimAV) revealed that
the one that worked didn't invoke pkg-config.  So why have it when it's
broken _and_ redundant?

For your information: Both those builds were made in fresh chroots
made with debootstrap, to have a clean build environment.
