Auto conf fails when using a prebuilt toolchain

[Matthew Jeffryes]

I am cross compiling using a prebuilt toolchain. According to the instructions in the user manual I added these lines to my site.conf:

PREFIX="arm-v4t-linux-gnueabi-"
PRE_BUILT="/opt/arm-v4t-linux-gnueabi/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.5-kernel-2.6.18"

export CC="${PREFIX}gcc"
export CXX="${PREFIX}g++"
export CPP="${PREFIX}gcc -E"
export LD="${PREFIX}ld"
export AR="${PREFIX}ar"
export AS="${PREFIX}as"
export RANLIB="${PREFIX}ranlib"
export STRIP="${PREFIX}strip"

TARGET_CPPFLAGS_append = " -I${PRE_BUILT}/include "
TARGET_LDFLAGS_prepend = " -L${PRE_BUILT} -Wl,-rpath-link,${PRE_BUILT}/lib "

ASSUME_PROVIDED += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc-initial"
ASSUME_PROVIDED += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc"
ASSUME_PROVIDED += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}g++"
ASSUME_PROVIDED += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}libc-for-gcc"
ASSUME_PROVIDED += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}binutils"
ASSUME_PROVIDED += " virtual/libc"


ASSUME_SHLIBS = "libc.so.6:libc"

Unfortunately, when build base-image my build fails relatively early because a configure script is trying to run a test program compiled with the crosscompiler on the host:

Any ideas as to what I need to make autotools packages behave with my prebuilt toolchain would be appreciated.

Thanks,
