Hi all,

I am trying to enable NFS support enabled for Monta Vista linux 2.6.10 for
mips architecture. I was not able to cross-compile the nfs-utils package
that was downloaded from sourceforge.net site.

I tried setting (env variable) CC to my cross compiler
i.emips64_octeon_be-gcc and tried the configure script as mentioned
below.
--host option of configure script was set to the output of config.guessscript.

./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
appending configuration tag "F77" to libtool
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
checking for g77 option to produce PIC... -fPIC
checking if g77 PIC flag -fPIC works... yes
checking if g77 static flag -static works... yes
checking if g77 supports -c -o file.o... yes
checking whether the g77 linker
(/auto/itasca/tools/packages/montavisa/mvl402/montavista/pro/devkit/mips64/octeon_be/mips64octeon-montavista-linux/bin/ld)
supports shared libraries... yes
checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-ar... (cached) i686-pc-linux-gnu-ar
checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-ld...
/auto/itasca/tools/packages/montavisa/mvl402/montavista/pro/devkit/mips64/octeon_be/mips64octeon-montavista-linux/bin/ld
checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes
checking for GNU libc2... yes
checking for BSD signal semantics... configure: error: cannot run test
program while cross compiling


My build keeps failing for BSD signal semantics.  Is there any method of
suppressing this check in the configure script.
Any link or url elaborating the cross compilation for nfs-utils package
would also be of great help.

Is this the right method to cross compile nfs-utils package ? Currently i'm
using the package nfs-utils-1.0.9.tar.gz.

Thanks and Regards,
Padmakiran
