Do I understand correctly that this was a temporary change that
had been undone?

I did not understood the BlueGene thread. It was about to enable
cross compiling even when --build was forgotten? Would make not
much sense so surely I simply failed to understand?

Thank you very much for the complete work-around code. This is
really great, I just put it in. Very helpful and great to get a
turnkey-solution :-)

oki,

Steffen
