[MPlayer-users] Configure glitch on Linux/PowerPC

While configuring MPlayer on my Debian/PowerPC machine I noticed this:

schwern at blackrider:/usr/local/src/MPlayer-20020717$ ./configure --with-win32libdir=/usr/local/lib/win32 --enable-gui
Detected operating system: Linux
Detected host architecture: ppc
Checking for gcc version ... 2.95.4, ok
Checking for CPU vendor ...  (::)
Checking for CPU type ... 

apparently configure is misparsing the output of /proc/cpuinfo.  For
reference, this is what mine looks like on a 2.4.18 kernel.

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo 
cpu             : 740/750
temperature     : 94-96 C (uncalibrated)
clock           : 264MHz
revision        : 2.2 (pvr 0008 0202)
bogomips        : 532.48
machine         : PowerBook
motherboard     : AAPL,PowerBook1998 MacRISC
L2 cache        : 1024K unified pipelined-syncro-burst
memory          : 320MB
pmac-generation : OldWorld

configure is looking for entries like "model name" and "vendor_id".

I don't think this is causing any real harm.
