I am busy packaging software for Slackware and trying to compile for a specific architecture. The one problem I am finding with several packages, is that the configure scripts obtain the architecture of the host system, and ignore the CFLAGS variable set that contains arguments for the compiler to compile for a specific architecture.
I am wondering whether anybody has some work-work-arounds that might work on all packages, or could developers possibly provide a configure command-line argument to allow a packager to compile for a specific architecture, other than their own? For example I am running an i686 system, whereas I want to compile for an i586 based system.
Thanks
