I cross compile from i686 Linux to Mingw all the time and my (quite comprehensive) test suite runs quiote happily under Wine. > Hence my question: is it possible to somehow indicate to configure that it > can run the binaries even when it's (formally) cross-compiling? I think you need to investigate why its failing more carefully.
