just to clarify, when crosscompiling userspace packages, you *must* explicitly
specify the --build of your development platform? why can't/won't autoconf
figure this out automatically?
(i've been creating a cross-compilable autoconf project from scratch as an
exercise in preparation for adding i386-linux -> arm-linux cross-compilation
to openssh, all the while cursing autoconf for its apparent inability to
figure out --build all by itself...)
