gpsbabel fails to cross build from source for a new reason: configure.ac gained AC_RUN_IFELSE invocations to check whether we need an -rpath for qt libraries. This property cannot be tested during cross compilation and makes the configuration fail. Given that we usually don't want an -rpath (at least in distro builds), I propose that we assume that an -rpath is not needed during cross compilation. It can still be specified as a configure parameter. The attached patch makes configuration and build succeed, but it keeps failing on help2man. See #912089 for more details on help2man. Please close this bug when fixing the AC_RUN_IFELSE part anyway. Helmut
