Hi Ross,

Thanks for the insight, I guess I'll have to go back and do a bit more fiddling than I was thinking I might get by with, oh well.

ERROR: configure failed

so bitbake is including an option that the configure script doesn't understand. Is there a way to delete that option

If configure doesn't recognise that option then it's not really autotools and you shouldn't be using the autotools class.

Looking at it I'm right, https://bitbucket.org/Mongo/canfestival-3-asc/src/8973dd8be7e8d65a25f608fc57557c80edf20bb4/configure?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default is just a hand-crafted script using bash that is called "configure".  Don't inherit autotools, and instead look at the --help output and pass all the values you'll need to (such as --cc).  Hopefully it cross-compiles correctly...
