configure.guess couldnt determine the architecture by using the uname
command. 
run this shell script to see what it found.


UNAME_MACHINE=`(uname -m) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_MACHINE=unknown
UNAME_RELEASE=`(uname -r) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_RELEASE=unknown
UNAME_SYSTEM=`(uname -s) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_SYSTEM=unknown
UNAME_VERSION=`(uname -v) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_VERSION=unknown  
echo
"${UNAME_MACHINE}:${UNAME_SYSTEM}:${UNAME_RELEASE}:${UNAME_VERSION}"

It then tried some other methods to identify the system by compiling
simple programs and running them. It failed to do this because your
shell cannot execute the temporary test program (dummy-28066) it created
in the current directory. Check your umask - maybe it is not allowing
the execute permissions to be set. It probably doesnt matter though as
these tests arent for arm-linux architectures.

> configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one

try running configure by forcing the host type :

./configure host=armlinux  


try elf32arm and armelf_linux also.

If your cross-compiling you may need to force other settings too. run
"./configure --help" to see your options.
