[Mono-dev] Problems cross compiling Mono itself for ARM with uClibc

[Barbara Neuer]

Hello,

is it possible, that the configuration step of Mono tries to execute a file on my i386 architecture platform, compiled with the arm-gcc?

If this is the reason, how can I solve the problem? Is there a configuration-switch or a workaround which I've overlooked?

Greets, Thomas
