Make it ignore those suggestions *COMPLETELY* when $ARCH != `uname -m` $SUBARCH != `uname -m` Since those suggestions are wrong for all cross-compilation as well, and this is a form of cross-compilation. {well, uname -m is wrong. I never did find a standard utility that returned 'i386'. arch -k used to do the right thing on SunOS, but it never did the right thing on any Linux distro} - -- ] "Elmo went to the wrong fundraiser" - The Simpson | firewalls [ ] Michael Richardson, Xelerance Corporation, Ottawa, ON |net architect[ ] mcr@xelerance.com http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/mcr/ |device driver[ ] panic("Just another Debian GNU/Linux using, kernel hacking, security guy"); [ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Finger me for keys iQCVAwUBQWsQI4qHRg3pndX9AQFNvwP/SUpnojGHN+hcbkmH4+ZOM1mdlEfQq+tF 1f9eCfgx8lzv7wIn/HqFsHJlNEWChDr+ZCBNF2ibS9kOvGbnv1HZIHKI+ETZVhFE FAVawdmLCVGwLZJxBnDKwZZ01Xdh3C4f3Pp6KgDyq32L0cE04bEqZR1qk4jg/NlJ GttyxuUdCnQ= =aeH+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
