configure crt1.o error on PPC64 RHEL

[Daniel Morissette]

Perhaps you could try running 'autoconf' in the mapserver source 
directory to regenerate the configure script. This should not be 
required, but perhaps the version of autoconf on your server will 
include the required paths in its C compiler tests.
