1.10. When running ./configure, how should I specify my host type?

The normal configure scripts don't know about the ARM or the NetWinder. The answer is to patch the config.guess and
config.sub scripts that are used by the configure script. Scott and Andrew are working to have the necessary patches
added to automake and libtools packages. Until this happens, you have to trick the system into building anyways. 

        ./configure --host=arm-linuxelf

or for more recent packages, 

        ./configure --host=arm-linux

should do the trick. Also remember to add --signed-char to the compiler flags, since the ARM defaults to unsigned
(unlike intel).
