See my explanation in #465294 > Is this absolutely necessary for cross-build support? Yes. Certain variables cannot be determined by ./configure during a cross build because the m4 macros expect a test program to be compiled and executed. Not surprisingly, this fails in a cross build so the cached value (obtained from the native Debian buildd log for the --host architecture) is used. See also my follow-up to debian-devel. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
