the "|| die" is not needed with econf, and the patch should be: tc-export CC econf
(In reply to comment #2) > the "|| die" is not needed with econf, and the patch should be: > tc-export CC > econf I agree with your remark, but 'tc-export CC' make CC exported to others functions as src_compile where it's not a bad but not needed as define in configure script.
