gsl build error on PowerPC

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

When building gsl on G4 I get this in config.log:

configure:2931: $? = 1
configure:2954: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2981: gcc-mp-4.3 -O2 -ftree-vectorize -march=native -O3 -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib conftest

See `config.log' for more details.

This happens as the gcc43 variant has -march=native in configure.cflags that is an option only valid for i386 architecture.

I suggest either removing it (that I did) or selectively enabling it for i386 or either removing it for PPC with a specific variant.
