Building mplayer on 9.1-PRERELEASE host architecture "UNKNOWN"

[Michael Copeland]

I sent it.

stated that simply running make install results in the architecture unknown
error.

for the fix section, i put this:

edit configure script in work/mplayer-export-2012-07-21


find section
# host's CPU/instruction set

patch section  macppc|ppc*|Power*) host_arch=ppc ;;

with            macppc|ppc*|Power*|powerpc) host_arch=ppc ;;



changing system var UNAME_m to ppc would also work, but this may break
other ports.
