Description Tomasz Chmielewski 2006-01-19 06:14:12 UTC 
./configure script doesn't allow to cross-compile Samba.

If it's run with options (in an environment that can cross-compile for that platform):

./configure.orig --target=mipsel-linux --host=mipsel-linux --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu

It quits with the following error:

configure.orig: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details.

There is no option in configure to disable "test program".

It is necesary to edit ./configure manually to allow compilation for another platform.
