This reminds me about an issue we had with parallel builds (make -jNUM) in coreutils-8.23. This was the fix: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=f51c44bd1e However, building without -jNUM or with -j1, i.e., without parallel building, did not have this dependency problem. Does it work with yet another "make -j1"? If not, what does the following command output? $ src='/home/solskogen/obj/work/coreutils-8.23.ventrix/src' $ perl -- ./man/help2man --include="$src/man/yes.x "$src/yes" ... ouch, STOP! You said you're cross-compiling - and that the target architecture is x86_64. Is such a binary executable on the build host? Thanks & have a nice day, Berny
