Summary

0001258: Packages with "self-written" configure scripts fail with non-Linux hosts

Description

Non-autoconf packages seem to be unfriendly towards cross-building. Few examples are zlib and jpeg. On Mac OS X host, they cannot link shared libraries correctly, because they identify the host system as the target system and try to pass OS X linker flags to, for example, i686-linux-uclibc-gcc. Autoconfed packages, such as gmp, seem to work fine.
