Got the distro recognition sorted.  Seems that "lsb_release" was
returning "OpenSuSe Project" and configure wasn't recognizing it
resulting in an "unknown".  I'm surprised you didn't run into that.
Required a couple of fixes to configured.ac for opensuse* but maybe you
didn't have the impacted files in play for your build.  Mostly affected
where the default sysconfig config files resided which is not in 1.0.5
at all.  I'm real close at this point.  It's building on 13.1.
