I thought these tests just failed. According to my experience and http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Runtime.html#Runtime both, AC_RUN_IFELSE() as well as AC_TRY_RUN() it replaces fail only if action-if-cross-compiling is not specified. If it is specified, it is used but usually this action is just a fallback and the test is still not ran. > I cross compile from i686 Linux to Mingw all the time and my (quite > comprehensive) test suite runs quiote happily under Wine. I don't think we're speaking about the same thing as it seems extremely unlikely that you're running your test suite from configure. So, to clarify: I am speaking about tests done in configure, not about any other tests built during the program build process. > > 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. They're not failing, they simply are not ran by configure.
