Hi,

I have encountered errors while configuring emacs, and I was told to send a bug report here. You will find my config.log attached, together with my environment variables.

For context, I am trying to cross-compile native-compilation. I guess this might not be supported, as libgccjit makes it quite complicated (I didn’t yet find a way to bypass the smoke test). I have built the NATIVE libgccjit for i586-linux-musl (maybe I am wrong about that ?)

Anyway, both sys/inotify.h and libgccjit.h are present, but they are marked as missing because they can’t be used (which seems legit, at least for libgccjit, since it is built for native i586-linux-musl). From what I understood, this is considered a bug. 

Best,
—Anatole Dahan

I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be supported yet or not -- I've
added Andrea to the CCs.

Hi Anatole,

generally speaking we do not support cross compilation using the native
build as libgccjit AFAIK is just not made for cross compiling.  I
suspect in your specific case this should be possible with some hacking
but coming to the problem of bypassing the smoke test I think the
easiest is to start with is commenting it out from configure.ac.

Closing this old bug as, as mentioned, we (and libgccjit as well) don't
support cross native compiled builds.
