It should be mentioned near the head of the script somewhere. Please try ./configure arm-linux which was IIRC the way to do it with Autoconf 2.13. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf

But what you told './configure arm-linux' did not work neither ( it still use gcc instead of arm-linux-gcc). I attached the output for you information, please help if possible.
