Hi all, Cross-posting to -devel since this issue hits how the configure script is written.
FWIW, I'm finding some discussion<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02855.html> about the use of the AC_CHECK_FILE macro in autoconf scripts. At the very end of configure.ac are two calls to AC_CHECK_FILE. This macro is written to produce an error if invoked while cross-compiling (which is what I am doing). Our build server does not have random or urandom but our target environment does. Wonder if this can be fixed by trying to find them on the staged target system? In the meantime, I'll see if we can't get random and urandom on our build machine.

Hmmm. This is definitely new to me. I can only assume it's something unique for your embedded environment (other folks that have done some embedded porting have not hit this). I could make a configure option to turn off checks for this.
