Hi,

I was able to successfully build libffcall, but only after adding --build="$host_triple" to all configure calls in cross-tools/cross-build.sh

What was the error that you got without this option?

Not all cross tools give error, mips fail, i386, x86_64 and m68k goes fine, the error:

make[2]: x86_64-redhat-linux-ar: Command not found

And what was the --host option that you passed? --host=x64_64-unknown-linux-gnu

or --host=x86_64-redhat-linux?

Here goes the last configure excerpt before the error (full log attached):

config.status: executing default-1 commands

mkdir -p -- ./bfd

Configuring in ./bfd

configure: creating cache ./config.cache

checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

checking host system type... x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu

checking target system type... mips64-unknown-linux-gnu

checking for x86_64-redhat-linux-gcc... gcc

checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out

checking whether the C compiler works... yes

checking whether we are cross compiling... yes

Autoconf seems to suggest [3] using both "build" and "host" flags for cross building, though I don't have many experience in cross building, hope this helps in some way.

This doc section is misleading; it will be corrected in the next Autoconf

release [1].
