Closing as obsolete since I'm pretty sure this isn't an issue anymore with current versions since I've cross-compiled a few versions for arm semi-recently.

Unfortunately this is still an issue here. Trying to cross-compile vim-7.4.273 for my armv7 box fails with : > configure: error: failed to compile test program I can't attach my build log, the submit form does not respond (maybe because bug is closed ?) Which version do you cross-compile for arm please ?

It's unlikely your issue is the same one as from 13 > years ago. I searched for "checking size of wchar_t is 2 bytes... configure: error: failed to compile test program" because it was exacly what I'm getting. So description of this bug is same as one I ran into. I also got exacly same error message. But vim compiles for armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf just fine, so maybe yes, new bug.
