So this particular error seems to be due to setting CC=gcc-4.9 in
debian/rules, but gcc-4.9 isn't a build-dependency! So config.guess
which tries to run $CC, always fails since it can't find it.

It built on mipsel due to a typo in debian/rules allowing openjdk to
build with gcc-5 on mipsel - which apparently works.

I really hope that doesn't have to happen - but if noone else can help
out (at least testing the gcc-5 stuff), then that may be the best thing
to do.
