AFAIK there's nothing to be fixed here. If you specify both --build and --host, autoconf sees this as a request for cross-compiling. Of course, invoking the native compiler as a cross-compiler should /generally/ give the same results as invoking it as "gcc", so it's entirely possible that it doesn't cause problems on your packages. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
