If gmp is only used for the host system, why is this? I > checked the GMP manual, and I don't think target even applies: Are you sure you're not just getting confused by the fact that all arguments supplied to the top level configure script are passed on to all sub-configures? There is nothing that I can see that would add --target, other than the fact that you're probably supplying it at the toplevel. I don't see how this matters anyway, as --target for a regular library is ignored. Brian
