As a general rule of thumb, I build autoconfed programs with:
./configure i386-linux
Rather than letting it determine itself what the host is. I have reasons
for doing this.
Autoconf 2.14+ currently breaks this when using AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM.
>From the documentation:
@defmac AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM
@maindex CANONICAL_SYSTEM
Determine the system type and set output variables to the names of the
canonical system types. @xref{System Type Variables}, for details about
the variables this macro sets.
@end defmac
@defmac AC_CANONICAL_HOST
@maindex CANONICAL_HOST
Perform only the subset of @code{AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM} relevant to the
host type. This is all that is needed for programs that are not part of
a compiler toolchain.
@end defmac
I would like to recommend moving from _SYSTEM to _HOST.
Thanks!
