------- Comment #5 from drow at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-02-10 01:36 ------- OK, I see it. The problem is that AC_PROG_CC is invoked inside an if statement; objext doesn't get set before that point, so it's expanded inside the if.
If this is covered in the autoconf documentation I don't know where... You can certainly work around the problem for now by not using --host. To accomplish the same thing as that used to, you may want --build=hppa-linux. I'm not going to have time to fix this properly for a day or two, sorry! -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30753
