[sudo-users] Problem during cross-compilation

Hi,
I'm trying to cross-compile "sudo" source for Power-PC platform using 
Montavista tool chain. I'm getting the following error message during 
configuration:
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `ppc_82xx': machine 
`ppc_82xx' not recognized

It is clear that it has found the cross-compiler and configure knows that 
we are cross-compiling but it fails to recognize the machine.

The complete dump follows:

[vhn at localhost sudo-1.7.2p2]$ ./configure --host=ppc_82xx
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use 
--host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
