Thanks for the reply, I am using the commands you listed below, except my CFLAGS are set in a gcc script that points to either gcc-4.1 or gcc-4.2 for easy change. Did not add -O2 or -g, but that should not matter since I'm not getting that far :(
I use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -us -uc, but again tried your -B suggestion with the same results (m4 failure) ... autoconf /usr/bin/m4:configure.in:966: ERROR: end of file in string autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 make: *** [build-stamp] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 I am running in a chroot'd armel/lenny from Debian All Debian tools on a v7 variant. sources.list is: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian lenny main non-free contrib deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian lenny main non-free contrib Are there any special kernel rqmnts for m4? I run a minimal chroot system and kernel...
