Hm Which compiler are you using for building gcc??
Im not building gcc... Im building aspell, using arm-linux-gcc and arm-linux-g++.

Hm but a better aproach would be if you could try to add some corsscompiling feature to ./configure, have a closer look at automake autoconf and at the main Makefile.am which is turned ito Makefile.in by automake and the later ist runed into the final Makefile by configure.
Ok, Im confused. Im not a vetrin GNU developer. What are automake and aoutoconf. I don't know the syntax for Makefiles ether. I just use progen and tmake to get my makefiles. I guess ill have to do some reading...
When using the automake autoconf variant you would only have to deal with the crosscompile specific things and not with the whole build process of aspell. If you do it properly in best case others needing different crosscompile would only need to add further values for a specific configure option and voila they thave their aspell version.
I think this is going to be a mess. ./confgiure gets its settings from the host not from the Zaurus. How should I go about getting this to work?
Im lost when it comes to the make utility. Can you recoment a place were I can learn more about it?
After you are done pleas don't forget to send patch.
If I can get it working.
cu Christoph ps.: the proper mailing list for this is aspell-devel more there
Sorry I didnt know there was a aspell-devel.
