Ok - I think i solved this issue ([EMAIL PROTECTED])/data/autobuild/tst/apt-0.3.18/buildlib# ./config.guess mips-pc-linux-gnuoldld ([EMAIL PROTECTED])/data/autobuild/tst/apt-0.3.18/buildlib# /usr/share/automake/config.guess mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu (cd build; ../configure) creating cache ./config.cache checking host system type... mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu checking build system type... mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes [...] This is with the config.guess from the current autoconf package so i guess just take that ... I already built an apt long ago without problems i thing (mipsel is already in the archtable) ([EMAIL PROTECTED])/data/autobuild/tst# apt-get -v apt 0.3.13 for mipsel compiled on Oct 16 1999 00:46:41 ([EMAIL PROTECTED])/data/autobuild/tst# apt-get source mutt Reading Package Lists...
