By setting --host and --build to the same value, this explicitly forces non-cross-compilation mode in configure. If you specify --host without also specifying --build, then configure will run the auto-detection which I expect will work properly for you. Probably the "vendor" field of the host triplet should have been set to something different for these different systems, but I digress... > And there seems to be no way to force it if we know that we are cross > compiling. Nevertheless, you can always force cross compilation mode by explicitly setting cross_compiling=yes, for example: % ./configure cross_compiling=yes Hope that helps, Nick
