Check exactly what is in configure.ac. You should be able to use allarch
and if you can't, it means the configure script is referencing the
compiler, even if it shouldn't be using it. Its designed such that these
accesses fail verbosely. It should be a simple fix if the recipe really
is just configuration.

Using the allarch class is infinitely preferable as it gets the sstate
bits right.

Cheers,
