Summary: Simplify rules for when configure enters cross-compiling mode Project: Autoconf Submitted by: zackw Submitted on: Fri 30 Oct 2020 09:12:43 PM UTC Category: None Priority: 5 - Normal Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Remove the "FIXME: To remove some day" code at the end of _AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS that can set $cross_compiling to "maybe", and the corresponding code in _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_CROSS. The new behavior would be that if you specify --host=<anything> and don't also say --build=<same anything>, cross compilation mode is engaged. This should *not* be done for 2.70, but maybe it should be done early in the 2.71 cycle. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110348> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
