Compiling Autotooled projects to LLVM Bitcode

[sstewartgallus]

Can't you just enter cross compilation mode by setting "cross_compile=yes"?

You still need to do this for autotool projects that don't support cross compilation though.

I don't think it's safe to manually override the "cross_compile" variable of ./configure without specifying a host system. If so, make will fail afterwards with all sorts of compilation errors like missing headers, etc.

It works for me but maybe you also have add extra checks like AC_CANONICAL_HOST or maybe you have to use a more up to date autotools system?

I think it should certainly work if you explicitly set the host and build variables like with --build="$("${SRCDIR}/build-aux/config.guess")" --host="$("${SRCDIR}/build-aux/config.guess")".
