Description Matteo 'Peach' Pescarin 2010-10-22 06:44:53 UTC 
I'm cross compiling for a powerpc architecture (603e) with a gentoo system.
The configure script fails at this point:

checking whether setpgrp takes no argument... configure: error: cannot check setpgrp when cross compiling

configure has been called with:
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-layout=gentoo --enable-nonportable-atomics --enable-threads --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom

I don't know how to circumvent this problem, it would be helpful if a temporary fix can be suggested (as enabling certain flags on configure or such)

if you need more information please let me know
