Hi,

I am now trying to run Debian on Renesas SH(sh4) CPU.
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/architecture.php?a=sh4

slang-slirp can not build on sh4. Because configure of this package generated
from old autoconf.

Old autoconf adds -little option to compile option. sh4 architecture can't
interpret this option. Therefore, this has build error.

We need patch revising this.
I added patch to revising these. Package building was fine.
Please apply  patch.

Best regards,
 Nobuhiro
