crossgcc for mips-redhat-linux-gnu

[Chris Jones]

I have a working x86 -> mipsel cross compile environment running 
thanks to Dan Kegel's crosstool script.

I was wondering if anyone has experience trying to cross-compile Redhat
src RPMs.

I have been trying to do the following without much luck:

rpmbuild --rebuild --target=mips-linux-gnu ./x.src.rpm

It seems that the --target flag isn't used properly when ./configure is 
called. Therefore we don't cross-compile.

Am I missing something from my set-up or does --target parameter in 
rpmbuild not actually do what I think it does?

Output follows.

Thanks,

   Chris
