Description:
Falcon checks the wrong cpu architecture for support.

From config.log:
[..]
configure:2497: checking target system type
configure:2512: result: powerpc-apple-darwin
[..]
configure:47577: checking if Falcon Storage Engine is supported on i386
configure:47669: result: yes
[..]

How to repeat:
Build 6.0 --with-falcon on any Mac OS X on x86 or x86_64.

Suggested fix:
Use $target_cpu instead of $MACHINE_TYPE.

Correction:

Forgot to mention that you need to build for PPC on x86/x86_64 with -arch ppc.

This is a common situation because PPC Macs were taken off the market two years ago.
