<vorlon> liw: if you invoke it as "diet -v gcc -Wall -g [...]" instead of
"diet -v hppa-linux-gcc [...]", what happens?
<liw> vorlon, it fails by not recognizing some link file without libtool; if
I add the libtool stuff in front, then it does link
<vorlon> liw: basically, by calling ./configure --host=... --build=...,
util-vserver is incorrectly causing autoconf to think this is a
cross-compile invocation, and therefore calls hppa-linux-gcc
instead of just calling gcc; if you do in fact get different errors,
this may be the root of the problem
<vorlon> liw: in that case, switching util-vserver to use the confflags
sample stanza from /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz
may be enough to cure the remaining ills
