Sparc buildd a cross-compiler?

[Mikael Hedin <mikael.hedin@irf.se>]

Hi,

I noticed gsmlib has failed on sparc for a long time.  The last log,
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=gsmlib&ver=1.7-1&arch=sparc&stamp=1006071760&file=log&as=raw, 
says in the end that g++-3.0 is a cross compiler:

checking whether the C++ compiler (g++-3.0 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -O2 ) works... yes
checking whether the C++ compiler (g++-3.0 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -O2 ) is a cross-compiler... yes
checking whether we are using GNU C++... yes
checking whether g++-3.0 accepts -g... yes
configure: error: can not run test program while cross compiling
make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1

and then the build bails out.  What's up?

/Micce
