You actually get No such file or directory, my builds build make-prime- 
list but cannot run them as they are built to be ran with the target  
machine. (I'm doing x86_64 to ppc).

Yeah 8.19 does fine. 8.20 has some changes where the programs to not  
be installed, but are generated for use with the test suites are built  
using the target compiler and not the host compiler so the host system  
cannot run them when generating lists.

There is a bug url you can track and it was posted in the clfs-dev  
list. Post your emails to the clfs-dev list and not directly to me.

Sincerely,
