Today I was doing x86_64 to ppc  cross-tools and tools and ran into  
the issue.

The no_install programs, which are used for the test suites, get built  
expecting to be ran on the target machine as it is built using the  
target toolchain instead of the host toolchain. I tried adding HOSTCC  
to automake.in and then at the make command could do make HOSTCC="$ 
{CLFS_HOST}-gcc -std=gnu99" but there is more voodoo going on as it  
kept trying to use the target gcc as figured by the configure. Wish  
they would test things before releasing into the masses. This  
shouldn't be a problem.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
