In general you cannot cross compile crash. The code in crash require that host and target are the same. There are a few exception as the architectures in some cases are equal enough. Example: target=ARM and host=X86 (and host=X86_64 building crash as a 32-bit executable) target=ARM64 and host=X86_64 target=X86 and host=X86_64 (building crash as a 32-bit executable) there might be other examples, but these are the ones I have come across.

BTW, can I cross compile the crash, say, build an arm/ppc binary on x86_64 host? Yu Chen -- Crash-utility mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
