That seems fixable by expecting native guile to be present when cross building. > With this patch, 'make' will run guile again to generate > stack-limit-calibration.scm, which is then used by 'make check'. > > If running the built guile is a problem in your project, you > presumably cannot do 'make check'. Cross builds can't run what is built, but I think in general one has to for make check, so it's just that cross builds can never do make check. So therefore things are no worse, and that was all I was asking. > In that case, you could suppress the generation of > stack-limit-calibration.scm by removing it from BUILT_SOURCES in > libguile/Makefile.am.

It would be nice to make that get generated only by make check, and not the regular build, but I am not using guile on the project and probably won't have enough Copious Spare Time to do this.
