           Summary: glib-2.0 configure fails on MIPS and x86
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: MIPS
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org

Configure for glib-2.0_2.12.11 fails on the check for a compatible
printf, i.e. 

| checking for C99 vsnprintf... no
| checking whether printf supports positional parameters... no
| configure: error:
| *** Your C library's printf doesn't appear to have the features that
| *** GLib needs, but you specified --enable-included-printf=no.

It appears that this is caused by the fact that the AC_TRY_RUN macro doesn't
handle cross compiling, as there are a lot of "warning: AC_RUN_IFELSE called
without default to allow cross compiling" warnings earlier. So the proper
variables are not getting set. 

I added the following lines to site/common-glibc, which allowed the compile to
complete successfully. 

# glib-2.0
ac_cv_func_vsnprintf_c99=${ac_cv_func_vsnprintf_c99=yes}
ac_cv_func_printf_unix98=${ac_cv_func_printf_unix98=yes}
glib_cv_long_long_format=${glib_cv_long_long_format=ll}

The same errors occur on x86 with Angstrom and generic distros,
and MIPS with Angstrom distro, with both bitbake 1.6 and 1.8. 
So it seems to be a generic problem.
