I applied a correction, * configure.in (SCM_I_GSC_STACK_GROWS_UP): Fix missing comma in AC_TRY_RUN. This was causing downward stack systems to get the cross-compile warning, and cross-compile to fail completely. Incidentally, if this really must be known at configure time then it might be better for the cross compile to be fatal, to avoid mysterious problems. It could advise how to force a value with a cache variable or something.
