Configuring with --enable-shared gave the following near the end of the 
output from configure:

checking host system type... Invalid configuration 
`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized

This message doesn't appear when configuring without --enable-shared.

I tried building again anyway, after doing a 'make clean', but I still 
had the same problem with SGL & SSL.  Not sure if that was because it 
actually built using the old configuration.

With or without --enable-shared, the following appears earlier in the 
output from configure:

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Some googling indicates that "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" is the correct 
string for this architecture.

Again, this isn't important to me right now, but I'm happy to try to 
track stuff down if it's helpful.
