Indeed it does, but you missed a subtle point in my first message:

CC=3Dkgcc ./configure --enable-redhat-buildsys  \
                    --enable-transarc-paths   \
                    --with-afs-sysname=3Dsparc64_linux24

yields:

checking for working makeinfo... found
checking for gcc... kgcc
checking whether the C compiler (kgcc  ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (kgcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no

while:

=2E/configure --enable-redhat-buildsys  \
            --enable-transarc-paths   \
            --with-afs-sysname=3Dsparc64_linux24

yields:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no

with CC=3Dkgcc the configure script configures the system with the use of=
 kgcc=20
in mind. It is in error for it to use any other compiler along the way.=20

I didn't think to 'override' the Makefile's when I did CC=3Dkgcc make, I =
was=20
just being thorough about which compiler to use. After configuring the sy=
stem=20
to use kgcc, it should not have made any difference. Thanks for the remin=
der=20
about overriding the Makefile, I should have known better having built=20
packages for my system here.=20

Normally, I'd be inclined to patch things myself, but trolling through a =
build=20
system with 0 prior knowledge would be bad, things would break and possib=
ly=20
the world would end.=20
