--- Comment #2 from Roger Meyer <fzvqedi at v dot mintemail.com> 2011-10-07 20:50:23 UTC --- indeed, it would cause problems. i.e. compile some stuff with wrong endianness and later silently crash. in this specific case here the build stops later on on another error, caused by another case of configure failing. but i may have well overlooked _this_ specific issue, fixing the others that caused the build errors, and later being clueless why xgcc or something else segfaults. since autofocn is "built-in" into gcc, it's both a autofnoc / gcc bug, and needs to be fixed here and there.
