This is the fun part. You probably need to cheat to make textutils' autoconf work for crosscompilation. It's usually ok to run configure on a Linux/Intel system (Using a glibc system is a good idea) and then crosscompile with a command like make CC=mips-linux-gcc CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" LDFLAGS="-static -s" Autoconf is *nice* in almost all cases but it's often a bitch when crosscompiling, so feel free to use every dirty trick in the book ... > (If it'll help, I can set Miguel and Ralf up with appropriate access > on neon so they can experiment.
