Any ideas!!!!!

[jamie@localhost spim-6.5]$ ./Configure

Check if this machine is big-endian or little-endian.
This may take a few minutes.
I believe this is a little-endian machine.
Looks like a System V universe exists...
Scaning libc
nm: /usr/lib/libc.so: File format not recognized

Checking if libc on this machine contains:
vsprintf: No, I don't think
_doprnt: NO, THIS IS A PROBLEM: NO VSPRINTF AND NO _DOPRNT
SPIM WILL NOT RUN PROPERLY
vfprintf: No, I don't think
_doprnt: NO, THIS IS A PROBLEM: NO VFPRINTF AND NO _DOPRNT
SPIM WILL NOT RUN PROPERLY
strtoul: No, I don't think
strtol: No, I don't think
memcpy: No, I don't think

Checking for /usr/include/termio.h
Yes, it is there
