/home/python/Python-3.4.1/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2012-12-29, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

If the version you run (/home/python/Python-3.4.1/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <config-patches@gnu.org> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

config.guess timestamp = 2012-12-29

uname -m = ppc64le
uname -r = 3.13-1-powerpc64le
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 SMP Debian 3.13.4-1 (2014-02-22)

/usr/bin/uname -p = 
/bin/uname -X     = 

hostinfo               = 
/bin/universe          = 
/usr/bin/arch -k       = 
/bin/arch              = 
/usr/bin/oslevel       = 
/usr/convex/getsysinfo = 

UNAME_MACHINE = ppc64le
UNAME_RELEASE = 3.13-1-powerpc64le
UNAME_SYSTEM  = Linux
UNAME_VERSION = #1 SMP Debian 3.13.4-1 (2014-02-22)
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

----------------------
I tried modifying config.guess for ppc65le , and did run configure and make again... after which I got following 


Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
