You might call it a hack, but it makes life easy if you do something like: export ac_cv_sizeof_short=2 export ac_cv_sizeof_int=4 export ac_cv_sizeof_long=4 sh ./configure --target=$CONFIG_TARGET --host=$CONFIG_HOST --prefix=$CONFIG_PREFIX --exec-prefix=$CONFIG_EXECPR This will short circuit a "broken" configure trying to execute programs for this kind of thing. If configure doesn't care about sizeof_int, then this definition is silently ignored... -- Joe deBlaquiere Red Hat, Inc. 307 Wynn Drive Huntsville AL, 35805 voice : (256)-704-9200 fax : (256)-837-3839
