Compile BFGMiner on Pogoplug (Arch Linux)

I am attempting to compile BFGMiner on my ARMv6l Pogoplug V3 running Arch Linux. When I download and try to configure the 2.8.1 source I get this error.

Code:

./configure
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `armv6l-unknown-linux-eabihf': machine `armv6l-unknown-linux' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub armv6l-unknown-linux-eabihf failed

I thought the whole point of compiling was to be able to run the code on almost any machine. Any thought on how I can get this to compile?
