I have a configure script that calls AC_HEADER_STDC. We run cross-compiles. I'm seeing a case where if our cross-compile toolchain is for a later version of Linux than the one on the local machine (say, one that uses gcc3 instead of gcc2) that the AC_HEADER_STDC test fails because it tries to run a test program on the local(!) system, and this fails: ./conftest: /lib/i686/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by ./c onftest) This happens with autoconf-2.59. Ideas? H
