I am not building cross, i am not building the debian cross
toolchain. Just for completeness.

A major problem get the thing in which the configure try to
begin to build executables and guess on the behaviour of the
OS to run on. This ends to be a hack and reminds me on
"pre gnu configure" times where one had to deal
with hundrets of "config.h" or "os.h" files.
If you are going to use anything like a package format
might it be "rpm" or "deb" the dependencies tend to be
utterly broken as the dependcies are guessed by stuff like
"ldd" output and friends.
If you have a 90Meg source tarball and build a 4Meg Ramdisk
for a Nino out of it. Fine.

Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?
