I don't understand this.  Here's what /usr/include/math.h says:

#if defined (__ppc__)
#include "architecture/ppc/math.h"
#elif defined (__i386__)
#include "architecture/i386/math.h"
#else
#error Unknown architecture
#endif

Could it be that __ppc__ is not defined by autoconf/automake when you 
configure, but is defined when you make?
