Hello Neil, I do not understand how do that work given than the original libtool script is not able to build the package. > Note that libjpeg6b needs to be told about the cross-compiler in > --build and --host as well as in the $(CC) variable to configure, it > also requires $(CC) to be set to the cross compiler for each of the > $(MAKE) commands.

Thanks. Did you check this patch actually allow libjpeg to be cross-compiled ? If yes, how did you proceed ? (Personnally I use distcc+crosscc+an emulator to cross build packages This is extremly reliable and does not require any changes to packages build scripts but it is slower than true cross-compiling because some part run inside the emulator).
