Hi Kris,

I'm trying to build bering-uclibc from scratch. My compile host is a Pentium
4 based machine and my target is Via Samuel based. The Samuel has an
interesting (and irritating) lack of a CMOV instruction... other than that
it's equivalent to an i586.

Watching the logs from buildtool go by it seems many applications are
picking up my compile host specs. Can I simply set and export CHOST, CFLAGS
and CXXFLAGS to my liking before building most of the packages, or do I need
to do something more exotic?
I'm afraid it's not as simple as setting environment variables. Most packages should work fine (at least, if compiling for arch=i386 works for your architecture - if not, what _would_ work?), but the process of making sure everything works correctly on different build-plattforms is far from complete.

Let me know if you have specific packages that compile for a wrong arch (don't go with what's displayed during ./configure - for many packages, the target arch is changed after configure is run, mainly because many configure scripts handle "cross-compiling" very badly).

In short, give it a try, and I'll be happy to assist you should you run into problems.

Martin
