I'm trying to remember what I did exactly. It was configuring for PPC, and it gave warnings about using the wrong one. Something along the lines of "If you are cross compiling, did you mean --build instead of --host?" Without seeing if it would not work without or thinking about it, I changed it, and it finished successfully. After committing I realised I had changed that and didn't really know what it meant, so I read that same GCC documentation and decided it was wrong, and that I should change it back. But after I changed it, it wouldn't compile anymore (I don't know what the error was anymore, though). At that point I just basically gave up. Thijs
