Description Simon 2012-12-11 11:44:46 UTC 
Hello,

While trying to cross compile dev-libs/nspr-4.9.2 from an x86_64 machine to target armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi (for a Raspberry), I always fall on this error : 
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -Os -pipe -march=armv6j -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard -fomit-frame-pointer -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

while othe programs compile without problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build a cross compilation chain : crossdev --k 3.2.27 --g 4.6.3  -S -v -t armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi
2.run "armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-emerge nspr"

Actual Results:  
Result with this error :

Here it is. I forgot it

latest version of nss & nspr should cross-compile fine
