I've tried changing a lot of the package that have the cross_compiling
hack to use --build. No problems so far. Sometimes the config.guess
script is in subdir 'build-aux' instead of the top of the package
tree.
Your idea of arranging this centrally sounds good. I guess it's
probably okay to run something like 'config.guess' once per
installation of mingw-cross-env instead of once per package, but I
wouldn't bet on it yet though. What's your view?
Should we decide to invoke config.guess for each package, is it okay
to do it like this:
--build=`./config.guess`
instead of using an absolute path:
--build=`$(1)/config.guess`
?
