In general, modifying a configure file directly is a mistake. (It's
an ok kludge, but doesn't really fix anything.)
As for the "cross compiling" test, it attempts to compile *and run* a
"trivial" program, main(){return(0);}, and if it fails, assumes you
must be cross compiling. There are only a handful of tests that
actually need to check things by running code, but they haven't been
eliminated yet, and really, you're not cross compiling, right? So if
that test fails, your compiler set up is *broken*. Look in config.log
to see how it failed, and look in acspecific.m4 to see the source of
the actual test (don't change it though, that would also be a mistake :-)
I'd also suggest that running any FSF GCC release ending in "0" in
production, rather than test, is a mistake, *especially* when later
releases exist (they came out for a reason, after all!) Current FSF
GCC is 2.7.2. I don't know if that solves your specific problem.
