Testing 1.5rc5 on Linux/PPC64 I get a test failure in "make check" that
probably relates to the GPFS filesystems used on this machine. Not sure
if this is a serious error or just an annoyance:

Same error occurs when configure is run with no argument (yielding an
ILP32 build).
This test does not exist in 1.4.3rc1.
