if building with this argument i get the following error:
checking if scanf supports %lld conversions... configure: error: cannot

i get the following output with and without this argument:
checking dynamic linker characteristics... unknown
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no
checking whether to build shared libraries... no
checking whether to build static libraries... yes

I am building on openSUSE 10.0 Final.
