Ron,

I managed to locate a number of config.guess files on my host.  I 
copied the one in /usr/share/automake-1.9/config.guess to the local 
directory and ran ./configure.  The good news is that the libstk.a 
built.  The bad news is that the test programs don't work. I also set 
the option you suggested for the --build.  Running ./configure with it 
didn't change anything.   For now I am going to give up on this project 
and continue working with the alsa API directly.  I know that part of 
that interface works(e.g. aplay and speaker-test)  but I haven't been 
able to compile and run any programs that work.  Any help along the 
compile and build options would be appreciated.  Thanks for your 
response.
