Hi all; autofs's configure.in is not properly set up to allow for cross-compiling. It fails trying to detect -fPIE, because configure.in runs AC_RUN_IFELSE to run a program (which of course can't work during cross-compilation) and does not provide a cross-compilation result. I'm not sure why this test for PIE exists or if it's really needed, but if you want to keep it please add an argument for cross-compilation. Patch is attached, against 4.1.4 (but I checked 5.00beta1 and it had the same issue). As recommended by the autoconf manual, this patch is pessimistic and assumes no PIE support for all cross-compilation environments. I've split the patch into two: one for configure.in and one for configure itself (I'm not sure if you source code control the configure script: some projects do and some don't).
