This still feels like a brittle solution to me. I believe that testing what your actual machine does and does not support is the right approach when not cross-compiling. I appreciate that some people may disagree here but if you do agree, then surely the same applies when cross-compiling and the only issue is how to implement such an approach? So, I'll ask again: Can we split our autoconf scripts into two parts: one to be run on the host machine and one to be run on the test machine? -- Alastair _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
