It works for me. You need to check the configure command that you gave, as well as environment variables such as CC, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LIBS, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and read the reference documentation [1]. So, what was this command and the relevant environment variable values? If you did not specify a system name, what matters is config.guess, not config.sub. Then please also show the result of invocations such as $ env CC=gcc build-aux/config.guess Bruno [1] https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html
