There are better lists, e.g., the unix-porting list hosted by Apple  
(see <http://lists.apple.com>).  Your question deals more with  
programming than TeX.

I may be misreading this, but on the surface, it appears that you are  
trying to build for a 64-bit platform (and not a PowerPC-based  
system).  In any case, the proximate problem is that (for unclear  
reasons) the build system seems to want to target a processor  
architecture for which you don't have complete support (that's the  
import of the libtool complaint).

That is exceeding strange.  Is MikTeX supposed to build on Unix-like  
systems?
