So you propose --target to be reused like this (a PS3 building GRUB2 for an amd64 BIOS PC with Linux) : ./configure --build=3Dppc64-linux --host=3Dx86_64-linux-gnu --target=3Di686= -pc ^--compiling system ^--tools system ^--boot arch I think we already have a better-geared switch for that (--with-platform it is?), which is currently used to distinguish between BIOS and EFI boot code on both x86 and x86-64. >=20 >=20 > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel --=-yem9YvooMskWduXezgWR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Esta parte del mensaje =?ISO-8859-1?Q?est=E1?= firmada digitalmente -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJJf0V3AAoJEKSl+Fbdeo72FogP/3r8qrIfHEEiwwHEhpOaWQbt W0yk+TfApZqh1QY0Ajv1xg0Rlg7foJFmVFz6U2F2STjficS1mzxhUaOlwtLmFbab TxWHCJD+ukMPx2w3ZHuBCI6ypVWAxGeBVvb/UKSJOpJFo0/STyG8M3gxA5+hFd2k 6xltOdiR95EbakFqZtWgkAkNjQDvvGfbVaDr9gQ+d7Hfxnwuwj/uxyXUgCnJ4WH+ Wh17pGPbo+hGXX7SldxczusmutcYGhUquI07ug9voZ8qzMcOry33LaeY4XV3LNbL KsGDzpY3h2LKmQfD7KmGVpn2z7P1wfpqblKq/naIxQLW2zlp4ZZ5T7AplwqqPTW2 xkO3G89mxEAEwQwC+rfPZuP+Y5CyO7EOMfg3lE5Tp2WDUFEZhu2L6oV3kL2vYewT x5GaS3O7yU6KwvYVo1PfF0oJMnILrx825GIjah48dtrCJfRykyBNrO0GjdYN8iAS m0znaArqrtVPi+VkshXju3xkdaQVvr061j/XJ7/YpbU1YI8N8w9z9n+UnCFS8UFI EVCEqpkPYxuPMZ7snCNrZ/0XYyHJbKKQ0tTvq/8od+UksBqCGRTQp1Q3vnP81Odh aDuq0Vt7Bjgyx25IfPtZNtRr+2rG0HurfLSaPdQ2y5SswuM4y3aEM1IzkwpHee5f T9JQsKrjm3qTriRvEl2x =qNav -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-yem9YvooMskWduXezgWR--
