Re: _G_config.h is not installed

Does anybody have an idea what the reason could be?

When I was debugging my gcc/glibc cross build script (http://kegel.com/crosstool), I found that glibc-2.2.5 thought it was doing a native compile if it could run the target executables on the build host. Maybe 2.2.4 is similar? Here's a patch to force cross-compilation:

Have you tried my build script?  It does a few other tricks to
get an x86->x86 crosstoolchain to build and test properly, and
you shouldn't need to edit it at all, just create a patch directory
for glibc-2.2.4 and put that patch in it.
