Re: Getting configure/make/gcc working on new 1.1 system.

[Bruce Perens <Bruce@Pixar.com>]

I think the kernel problem will go away if you remove /usr/include/asm
and make it a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 . This
could be fixed by having the libc maintainer take over the "includes"
package.

You'd have to look at the configure program and figure out why it says
cross-compiling - I've not seen that one before.

	Thanks
