Re: [ft] Freetype 2.4.11 Cross Compiling

[suzuki toshiya]

Dimitris sent me config.log & config.status (could I post them to
this list?). In config.log, something works differently from expected
behaviour.

Current configure.raw tries to find native compiler as follows:
---
# checks for native programs to generate building tool

if test ${cross_compiling} = yes; then
  AC_CHECK_PROG(CC_BUILD, ${build}-gcc, ${build}-gcc)
  test -z "${CC_BUILD}" && AC_CHECK_PROG(CC_BUILD, gcc, gcc)
  test -z "${CC_BUILD}" && AC_CHECK_PROG(CC_BUILD, cc, cc, , , /usr/ucb/cc)
  test -z "${CC_BUILD}" && AC_MSG_ERROR([cannot find native C compiler])
---

But the config.log by Dimitris records as follows:
---
configure:3485: checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
configure:3512: result: mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc
configure:3522: checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
configure:3549: result: mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc
configure:3559: checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
configure:3603: result: mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc
---

Umm, it's not what I expected by "AC_CHECK_PROG(CC_BUILD, ${build}-gcc, 
${build}-gcc)".
I will check it in more detail.
