The configure script also does not include support for Apple's Mac OS X
Server.  (I've pointed this out before; see the list archives.)

Manually specifying --host=powerpc-apple-rhapsody5.5 to configure and
then hacking the generated Makefiles creates working tools and
libraries, though.

The Group 4 Fax compression standard is available as a PDF that can be
downloaded from the ITU for a nominal fee.  It's at <
